What inferences can be drawn from TEM scan if different shapes are obtained, of a single type of material in sample ?

04 April 2016 1 8K Report

different angular shapes represent which quality of material?

The different faces which have different Miller indices (h kl ) in the small crystallite in any materials will have different shapes and accordingly the different shapes seen by TEM will depend very much on how many different faces are seen by TEM

Why doesn't chromium 2+ ion use all its d-orbitals to receive lone pairs from six waters in [Cr(H20)6)]3+?
