Of the many techniques that have been applied to the study of
crystal defects, none has contributed more to our understanding of
their nature and influence on the physical and chemical properties
of crystalline materials than transmission electron microscopy
(TEM). TEM is now used extensively by an increasing number of earth
scientists for direct observation of defect microstructures in
minerals and rocks. Transmission Electron Microscopy of Rocks and
Minerals is an introduction to the principles of the technique and
is the only book to date on the subject written specifically for
geologists and mineralogists. The first part of the book deals with
the essential physics of the transmission electron microscope and
presents the basic theoretical background required for the
interpretation of images and electron diffraction patterns. The
final chapters are concerned with specific applications of TEM in
mineralogy and deal with such topics as planar defects,
intergrowths, radiation-induced defects, dislocations and
deformation-induced microstructures. The examples cover a wide
range of rock-forming minerals from crustal rocks to those in the
lower mantle, and also take into account the role of defects in
important mineralogical and geological processes.
