Observations of dislocations in zinc by chemical etching

Abstract

A new chemical etch has been found to be effective for revealing dislocations intersecting the basal planes of zinc. The etch works for surface whose orientation is within 0.5° of the basal plane. Evidence is available that there is a one-to-one correspondence between etch figures and dislocations. Crystals with densities as high as 10^7 dislocations per cm^2 have been successfully etched.
