Figure 5: A sequential set of ADF images depicting the atomic process during slip deformation.

(a) W vacancy created (0 s). (b) Slip deformation (1 s) with an edge-atom migration. (c) Vacancy migration and emergence of the slip-line (or the lattice mismatch; 11 s). (d) Dynamic recovery (12 s) and the mismatch disappears. (e) Another slip-line appears (25 s) and then (f) the slip deformation process ended (26 s). Scale bar, 0.2 nm.
