(a) Schematic illustration of the crystal, compression-loaded in orientation. The plane is highlighted in red. (b) SADP for ideal twins. (c,d) Dark-field TEM images showing the pillar before and after loading, respectively. Scale bars, 400 nm. (e) SADP taken from the framed area, demonstrating that diffraction spots are separated instead of overlapping with each other. The zone axis is for parent lattice. (f) The corresponding stress–strain curve.
