CHAPTER 3Crystalline

Structure–Perfection

The transmission electron microscope (Section4.7) can be used to image the regular arrange-ment of atoms in a crystalline structure. Thisatomic-resolution view is along individual columnsof gallium and nitrogen atoms in gallium ni-tride. The distance marker is 113 picometersor 0.113 nm. (Courtesy of C. Kisielowski, C.Song, and E. C. Nelson, National Center forElectron Microscopy, Berkeley, California.)
