Investigations were made of lattice imperfections in straight cadmium, iron, and copper whiskers by analysing the Laue diffraction photographs of the whiskers recorded with a microfocus X‐ray source (focal spot ≈ 40 μm in diameter). Perfect whiskers gave single and sharp Laue spots. The other whiskers gave irregular shaped Laue spots, or Laue spots consisting of two fine components (doublets), or streak like Laue spots. None of the investigated perfect cadmium, iron, and copper whiskers was found to contain an axial screw dislocation. However, the lattice planes of these whiskers were found to be deformed in a complicated way. In imperfect whiskers, each set of parallel lattice planes which gave a Laue doublet, in fact consisted of two sets of parallel lattice planes, slightly misoriented with each other. The angle of misorientation was found to be ≈ 10′ for imperfect Cd whiskers. The angular deformation in the lattice planes of some imperfect Cd whiskers was few degrees of are. In perfect whiskers the lattice perfection did not change appreciably on studying different portions of the whiskers. The lattice imperfection in other whiskers decreased on going from the base towards the tip. On annealing, the Laue spots of perfect whiskers did not show appreciable change in the lattice imperfections. Imperfect whiskers, except the ribbons, showed a decrease in the lattice imperfections on annealing. An increase in the lattice and surface imperfections was observed on annealing the ribbons. The present results can be qualitatively explained by assuming that the growth has taken place at the steps provided by an axial screw dislocation or dislocations, which may themselves have annealed out during growth.

Fan-type microcrystals of Zn and Cd that are new in form are found. They were grown under the condition of an Ar-gas pressure of 160 Torr and a supersaturation ratio of eight. The crystals of two types, one of which was a single crystal and the other was a contact twin with a (0001) plane as a rotation boundary.A new method was given to classify the rotation boundaries by the arrangement of atoms on a coincidence boundary. The findings about fan-type microcrystals by scanning electron microscope were also reported together with the twinning of the crystals. Finally, three new types of rotation boundaries were added to nine of those that had been classified according to the difference in Laue transmission patterns.
