Is it possible to see twins in Si under an optical microscope?

AI Thread Summary
Twins in silicon (Si) can potentially be observed using optical microscopy, similar to their visibility in brasses. However, the ability to see these twins is uncertain without appropriate preparation. To enhance visibility, an etchant may be necessary to reveal the twin structures in silicon. Participants in the discussion are seeking suggestions for effective etchants suitable for this purpose. Finding the right etchant is crucial for successful observation of twins in Si under an optical microscope.

well optical microscopy do reveal twins in brasses, hopefully twins in Si can also be observed but I am not pretty sure about this. Otherwise if it does you shoud have to look for an etchent for that . . . .
 


I was looking for suitable etchant. Can somebody suggest one?
