Termination structures of surfaces of zeolite L crystals are studied b
y high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM). By comparing observed HR
EM images with simulated ones based on some ideal models. of the surfa
ce structure, a Studied reliable surface structure model is proposed.
Microscopy The framework of the structural model is terminated with do
uble six-membered rings on the (001) surface and with cancrinite cages
on the (100) and (110) surfaces of the crystallite.
