Abstract
A high‐resolution electron‐microscopic study of sodium β′″‐alumina, a polytype of the more‐widely‐studied sodium β‐ and β″‐alumina, has been undertaken using the 600 kV instrument at Cambridge University. Images revealed the loss of sodium‐containing planes, which had caused crystals to collapse and shear into defect layers. A model for the structure of these defects is proposed, based on the use of computed images and by comparison with high‐resolution images of silver β″‐alumina. 1983 Blackwell Science Ltd
