Growth of alpha-Al2O3 within a transition alumina matrix

Description

The growth of alpha-Al2O3 from a planar specimen of thermally grown gamma-alumina on a molybdenum transmission electron microscope grid was studied. The alpha-Al2O3 grows into the transition alumina matrix and then thickens via a ledge growth mechanism. Faceted Mo crystallites cause pinning of alpha-Al2O3 ledges and are larger on alpha-Al2O3 than on the transition alumina matrix. 8 references
