Abstract

High resolution electron microscopy has been used to characterize the structure of ultra thin films of titanium deposited on KBr substrate by Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) electron-gun evaporation. The size of the grains has an order of magnitude of 10 nm whatever the substrate temperature. The observations have been carried out along <1123> zone axis. Some of the grains contain planar defects which were identified as the twin {1011}. The atomic structure of this twin is characterized by a mirror plane similar to that observed in polycrystalline titanium. Additionaly, this structure can be modified by a b2/2 twinning dislocation.
