# Interstitial Agglomerates in Si

| Shown are small stacking fault loops, i.e. small platelets of Si-atoms wedged in between two (111) lattice planes. This then might be considered to be a two-dimensional agglomerate of Si self-interstitials.
|  | In the picture on the lower right the (111) plane is in the paper plane, in the other cases it is inclined; in the lower left case the (hexagonal) loop is truncated by the specimen surfaces.
| For more details about electron microscopy refer to chapter 6.3.3
