Abstract
New observations on the surface defects generated in MoO3 on reduction in H2 in situ in a high voltage electron microscope have revealed an error in the previous interpretation (Thorn and Hirsch 1976). The defects are now shown to be partial screw dislocations, with Burgers vector ½〈101〉, which accommodate the misfit between the reduced surface layer and the underlying matrix.
