A method of preparing undeformed thin lithium specimens for TEM is described. A solution of dehydrated methanol and toluene is used both for initial dishing of the foil by chemical polishing and also for final thinning. Under electron beam irradiation in the TEM, new pure Li crystals can grow out of

During the microstructural examination of ceramic thermal barrier coatings by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), initial efforts for the preparation of cross-sectional thin foils from interface regions by conventional means were mostly failures. Delamination of the Yz03-stabilized ZrOz ceramic
## INTRODUCTION. The high temperature oxidation of alumina-and chromia-forming metals and alloys has been studied for many years. Although it is fairly easy to produce TEM cross-sections of the adherent scales formed on alloys containing reactive elements it has proved more difficult to cross-sect
## Abstract Single crystal MgO specimens having low load Vickers indentations were thinned in an ion milling machine employing a single ion gun, and their characteristics were investigated with optical microscopy and high voltage electron microscopy (HVEM). It was found that the state of cleanlines
