Abstract
Grain boundaries between gas evaporated particles of gold, cobalt and titanium nitride have been studied in the electron microscope. The particles are typically 10-100 nm in size and together with the boundaries they carry information about particle formation and interaction, anisotropy of grain boundary and surface energy, the special situation for dislocations very close to a surface etc. Twin boundary energy, evaporation temperature, gas pressure and magnetic behaviour ail play an important role in the final pattern.
