The defect structure of γ-Al2O3 produced from boehmite is described with the aid of antiphase and rotational boundaries. The type of structure defects is deduced from the selected-area electron-diffraction patterns. The defect density is quantified from the anisotropic broadening of diffraction lines in powder X-ray diffraction patterns using a computer routine based on the Debye scattering equation.
