The visibility of the small shift of atoms of solid Xe precipitates formed by ion- implantation in HVTEM is discussed using HRTEM. Drawing the image intensity profiles of different thickness and defocus values revealed that the visibility is strongly affected by defocus value as expected. On the other hand, the visibility of Xe does not depend on the relative displacement from Al columns during thickness increases in contrast with the HAADF-STEM case. By comparing simulated images with experimental results, the displacement of Xe atoms of 0.5 Å in the [010] direction obtained by HAADF-STEM is also supported by HRTEM.
