✦ Synopsis

transmission microscopy on cleaved flakes, the low-density deposits are shown to contain microvoids on the order of 100 A in diameter. The density of microvoids increases as bulk density decreases, but there is no significant change in the crystallite size with density. Surface replicas show distinctive features that are characteristic of the different deposits but which cannot be interpreted directly in terms of the structure of the deposits as revealed by transmission techniques.
