Abstract
The study by electron microscopy of the fringes due to planar defects such as antiphase boundaries (APB) is not a new problem, and the equations describing this phenomenon are well-known, but the effect on electron diffraction of the broadening with temperature of these boundaries close to order-disorder transitions is a new field of investigation. We show here that a careful study of the behaviour of the fringes generated by the APB in dark field images is a good method to analyze the different order-disorder transitions. In particular we describe in detail a quantitative method that allows us to determine the correlation length ξ below a second order transition.
