Abstract
Experimental evidence has been obtained, establishing that the deviations from a perfect one‐to‐one correspondence between etch pits on the opposite cleavage faces in Bi2Te3 are often due to bending and branching of the dislocations at the cleavage. It is suggested that the observation of deviations from the identical etch patterns on the opposite cleavage faces of a crystal does not necessarily imply the unreliability of an etch for revealing dislocations in that crystal.
