Abstract

A 400 kV high‐resolution electron microscope has been used in the surface profile imaging mode to observe surfaces and surface reactions directly in real time. The processes studied include: the formation of surface oxides on Pd and Ag and on In‐compound semiconductors; surface reduction and metallization, diffusion and accretion on oxide surfaces; and structural rearrangements in small metal particles. It is concluded that the technique can provide unique information about surface phenomena.
