Notes:
A high-resolution electron-microscope study of β-FeOOH (akaganéite) has been carried out. Examination of intact crystals and ultrathin sections provided no evidence for the hollow-rod structure proposed by earlier workers. It was found also that features, such as mottling and striations, previously thought to be indicative of a porous structure, were due to radiation damage. It is concluded that the β-FeOOH crystals are not porous, but are, in fact, crystallographically homogeneous.
