Energy‐filtered transmission electron microscopy proves directly that ion irradiation and post‐irradiation annealing of a Si/SiO 2 interface results in the formation of a narrow layer of monodisperse Si nanocrystals in the oxide at a tunnel distance from the interface. Position and size of the Si nanocrystals are in agreement with predictive atomistic computer simulations. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
