Sammanfattning

A method for preparing ultrathin sections (- 20 nm) of inorganic solids has been developed using ultramicrotomy of resin-embedded crystal fragments. Undamaged crystals, oriented along a crystallographic direction, could be imaged with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) at a resolution better than 0.5 nm. The true internal structure of the crystals could be investigated by imaging the second in a series of at least three consecutive ultrathin sections. Such TEM-tomography proved that Pt-ion exchanged FAU zeolite crystals, after reduction and oxidation, are occupied internally and randomly of large platinum clusters mainly in the {111-twin planes. TEM-tomography could be useful in man made nanostructures like semiconductors, epitaxial thin films, hard metal coatings, ceramics, catalysts, and biomaterials.
