T. Yoshioka et al., CROSS-SECTIONAL TRANSMISSION ELECTRON-MICROSCOPY OF ZNO TETRAPOD-LIKEPARTICLES, Journal of Electron Microscopy, 44(6), 1995, pp. 488-492
ZnO tetrapod-like particles having legs as long as several tens of mic
rometers have been observed by cross-sectional electron microscopy, Th
e specimen is prepared by a new method where a photo-resist suspension
of the particles fills up holes of an electron microscopy grid and is
solidified for the subsequent ion-milling, Electron diffraction and h
igh-resolution electron microscopy of a section of a ZnO tetrapod reve
al the orientation relationship among its four legs, which enables us
to discuss on the growth mechanism of these particles.
