Abstract

Sections perpendicular to [001] of ion-thinned specimens of fibrous grunerite (amosite) have been examined by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. In this orientation, two kinds of dislocation have been observed with about equal frequency. One lies on [001] and has a Burgers vector a. The other is on [001] and has a Burgers vector ½a+½b Interpretation of features associated with these dislocations has been assisted by the use of two-dimensional models of I-beam cross-sections which can be interlocked to simulate the possible modes of stacking.
