Diffraction artefacts from twins and stacking faults, and the mirage of hexagonal, polytypes or other superstructures

Recently, a hexagonal phase has been reported in high carbon steels in several studies. Here, we show that the electron microscopy results used in these studies were erroneously interpreted. The extra-spots in the diffraction patterns and the odd contrasts ...
