TL;DR: In this paper, new series for the zeros and associated values are derived by reversion and used to determine the distribution of zeros of functions of large order in the z-plane.
Abstract: New expansions are obtained for the functions Iv{yz), ) and their derivatives in terms of elementary functions, and for the functions J v(vz), Yv{vz), H fvz) and their derivatives in terms of Airy functions, which are uniformly valid with respect to z when | | is large. New series for the zeros and associated values are derived by reversion and used to determine the distribution of the zeros of functions of large order in the z-plane. Particular attention is paid to the complex zeros of 7„(z) and the Hankel functions when the order n is an integer or half an odd integer, and for this purpose some new asymptotic expansions of the Airy functions are derived. Tables are given of complex zeros of Airy functions and other quantities which facilitate the rapid calculation of the smaller complex zeros of 7„(z), 79(z), and the Hankel functions and their derivatives, when 2 n is an integer, to an accuracy of three or four significant figures.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the interfacial dislocation networks in germanium bicrystals using transmission electron microscopy and found that areas of different contrast, limited by the partial dislocations, appear suggesting that the boundary is formed by two interfacial domains.
Abstract: Interfacial dislocation networks have been studied in germanium bicrystals, using transmission electron microscopy. Periodic arrays of partial secondary dislocations, associated with a stacking-fault-like structure, have been observed in a near coincidence Σ=5 grain boundary in which the deviation from exact coincidence orientation is a 0·05° rotation about [131], close to the boundary normal [130]. The dislocation grid is made of a honeycomb network of two partial secondary dislocations and a perfect secondary dislocation crossed by a set of parallel partial secondary dislocations. When some diffracting vectors common to the two crystals are used, areas of different contrast, limited by the partial dislocations, appear suggesting that the boundary is formed by two interfacial domains.
