Fig. 3

a STEM-HAADF image of APB-II along the [001] zone axis, where the scale bar is 1 nm. b EELS map for Fe is acquired across the interface. Fe L3 edges energy positions are extracted from the EELS maps, as shown in the color map. c The quantitative profile of the Fe L3 edge positions is compared across the APBs. The error bar is defined by the standard deviation of measured Fe L3 edge positions. d The magnified STEM-HAADF image from (a). On the right side, the corresponding map for Fe L3 edge positions is mapped in the interface of the APB-II. e The proposed interfacial structure model is shown on the left side. The enlarged view of the interfacial structure and corresponding simulated STEM-HAADF image based on the proposed model are respectively shown on the upper and lower right sides.
