Abstract

As part of a research program devoted to the microstructural characterization of Al2TiO5-based compounds, high resolution electron microscopy (HREM) has been undertaken in order to study the crystallographic arrangement, especially ordering possibilities, of Al and Ti cations in the metallic sublattice of aluminum titanate. It is seen that adequate experimental conditions, mainly defocus setting, for a resolution of at least 2.5 Å point-to-point, enable the disordered model to be directly and unambiguously proved on 100-oriented micrographs.
