Abstract
This paper gives an overview of recent High Resolution Electron Microscopy (HREM) observations of transition metal carbides. The main point is to show how HREM can be used to study a sublattice of light atoms within a complex crystal. General tendencies of this approach will be outlined, which appear, to a large extent, to be common to similar possible studies of other compounds such as nitrides, borides or oxides. Specifically, attention is focused on studies of long-range ordered structures in carbides, due to non-stoichiometry accommodated by metalloid vacancies. Various examples are given for representative compounds, including V8C7, V6C, 5, Nb6C5 and W2C.Keywords
