Abstract

The nucleation of gold on sodium chloride doped with iron and manganese was studied by deposition in vacuum. Resultant structures were examined by electron microscopy. Nucleation was found to be enhanced on Suzuki phase precipitates in the doped crystals. The structures also yielded information on the orientation of nuclei and on the interface dislocation structure of the precipitates.
