Lattice imaging of a grain boundary in crystalline germanium

Abstract
A high-angle tilt grain boundary viewed end-on in a (011) thin crystal of Ge has been imaged with atomic resolution in the Kyoto 500 kV electron microscope. The boundary is shown to consist of alternating columns of five- and seven-membered rings of Ge atoms running along the [011] direction, and to contain no dangling bonds.
