Samples of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite reacted with oxygen under various conditions have been studied using optical microscopy and both transmission and scanning electron microscopy. In this manner the effects of oxidation on basal and edge surfaces have been separately evaluated. The orienta
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
A new method of preparing TEM samples from powders is described. The method consists of compacting epoxy-powder composite mixtures in special molds by centrifuging prior to polymerization. The compact is then ion milled by standard methods. Samples prepared in this way are currently being used to st
