Hi, Tara. Basically speaking, it is not possible to determine the exposed plane based on your HRTEM image. As we know, the HRTEM is a projection image of the crystal lattice from the viewing direction. For the particles, electron diffraction if it is possible to take, combining with the morphology analysis, is the best choice. For the planar sample, assuming it is flat, the zone-axis in parallel with the electron beam direction (Note: without tilting your sample) can be used to determine the exposed plane. Hope my answer will be helpful.
Hi tara...you have calculated the interatomic layers distance in HRTEM image which is 0.200 nm...so check your XRD data and find the d-spacing for all peaks....if any d-spacing value match the 0.200 nm or closely related to 0.200 nm then you can say that the exposed plane in HRTEM image belongs to (...) XRD peak on the basis of d-spacing and interatomic layers distance measured in that HRTEM image....so this could be the method to correlate the XRD data and HRTEM images....
