Summary
It is difficult to determine the atomic arrangement of boron, carbon, and oxygen in solid clusters and oxides because of their low atomic numbers. However, it is believed that high-resolution images should provide some information about disordering, ordering, and doping atomic positions in these materials. In the present work, information about disordering and ordering atomic positions in YB56 and HgT1Ba2CuO x was obtained from digital high-resolution images. Residual indices and difference images were calculated for structure analysis. The present work indicates that atomic detection with residual indices and difference images is very useful for evaluating local structure in ceramic materials containing light elements such as boron and oxygen atoms.
