Abstract

The crystalline structure of small gold particles in the size range between 50–200 Å is studied using STEM in microdiffraction.

It is found that some single-crystalline particles showed an anomalous diffraction pattern. In some cases these pattern be indexed as an hexagonal lattice with a ratio c/a= 2.46. A number of models to explain the hexagonal diffraction are discussed. In some other cases the patterns correspond to fcc structures but with a large splitting effect. The results reveal the strong dynamical character of the diffraction by small gold particles.
