Abstract
SINGLE crystals of cadmium sulphide less than 1000 Å thick have been studied in transmission in the electron microscope. Stacking faults similar to those observed in zinc sulphide have been discovered1. The crystals were grown from the vapour—the powder was heated at 900° C in a stream of argon at atmospheric pressure. Electron diffraction patterns showed the crystals to be of the wurtzite phase, plate-like parallel to (2&1bar;.0) as in the case of zinc sulphide crystals grown by the same technique.
