Abstract
The etch‐decoration method developed to detect lattice vacancies in graphite has been extended to the detection of lattice vacancies in molybdenite. Observations indicate that vacancies occur at sites from which a molybdenum atom is missing and that etch pits developed from these vacancies may be several layers deep; however, gold decoration can reveal step heights one layer deep (6.15 Å).Keywords
