   Abstract:
   An atomic model with fully bonded interstitial atoms is proposed for the 113 stacking faults (SF). It is shown that the development of the 113 habit plane is a result of minimizing bond length changes. The fault may be represented by a ¹/₁₁⟨113⟩ partial dislocation, and a ³/₂₂⟨332⟩ partial will facilitate an unfaulting reaction to result in a ¹/₂⟨110⟩ 90° edge dislocation. Lattice images were obtained for a 113 SF which showed that the model is essentially correct
