Abstract
The application of the two-and-a-half-dimensional (2 1/2 D) technique to the analysis of the nature of small point-defect clusters in ion-ir radiated silver and copper has been explored. A modification of the te chnique which allows the identification of reciprocal-lattice spike ef fects has been made. However, even with this modification a comparison of analyses of the same clusters by 2 1/2 D and the Black-White contr ast method showed that 2 1/2 D analyses of small faulted point-defect clusters are unreliable.
