Abstract

Observations of electron damage occurring in LiF single crystals within an electron microscope are recorded. A number of irradiation-induced defects, similar to those reported by other workers were observed, but a new feature is the identification, by electron diffraction, of Li2O distributed in precipitates and as a dispersed phase.
