Abstract

The possibilities and limitations of HREM for evaluating structural details in amorphous silica were investigated by computer simulation. The calculated defocus series of HREM images for an unstrained and a linearly strained network model of vitreous SiO 2 have shown that microvoids, density fluctuations as well as strained regions can be interpretably imaged for thin specimens ( t < 5 nm).
