Description

The twinning modes in α-phase neptunium have been re-examined using X-ray and transmission electron microscopy techniques. X-ray results confirm the predominant existence of {110} twinning as first reported by Rechtien et al. Transmission electron microscopy has additionally revealed {100}, {010} and possible {011} type twins in splat quenched samples. The crystallograhic shear and atomic shuffles required for these additional modes are discussed relative to existing crystallograhic theories of twinning. (orig.)
