Summary

Previous X-ray observations by J. Lima-de-Faria and P. Gay on the transformation goethite-hematite indicate that in the process of state change at low temperatures, maxima of scattered X-ray intensity occur as satellites to strong and diffuse Bragg maxima due to hematite. These maxima define a repeat distance of about 32 Å. Corresponding satellite maxima have been observed using electron diffraction technique and satellite maxima flanking the direct beam (000) have been used to obtain a direct electron optical image of the disordered state at high magnification. Such photographs show a mainly regular fringe system with spacing of approximately 30 Å. Dislocation patterns were also observed.
