In this paper a combined etching and electropolishing method to prepare thin Tellurium foils for transmission electron microscopy is described. This technique may be applied to massive sam-ples and is suitable for the preparation of thin foils at arbitrary points of deformed material. Speci-mens from deformed Tellurium single crystals were prepared in this way and examined in the electron microscope. Dislocations and grain boundaries were observed in these specimens.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
