Abstract

Single‐crystal thin foils of a‐alumina were annealed i:i air and examined by transmission electron microscopy. Weak reflections, which are kinematically forbidden for the a‐alumina unit cell, were obscrxed in selected‐area diffraction patterns obtained from foils prepared parallel to (0001), (1012), and (1120) planes. These reflections are interpreted as giving evidence for surface periodicities which differ from those expected for the simple termination of the bulk crystal. Copyright © 1986, Wiley Blackwell.
