Abstract

The defocus convergent-beam electron diffraction method has been used for the determination of the displacement vector of a stacking fault in the (101) plane of TiO2. The displacement vector has been determined to be [0.25±0.00, 0.00±0.03, 0.27±0.01]. High-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) images show that there is a relaxation of the lattice with a width of about 1 nm around the fault. A structural model of the fault with a relaxation is proposed, which explains the HREM images well.
