Fig. 3

a Montage bright-field TEM image of the longitudinal cross-section of Pillar E4, including the compression axis and schematic. Direction of the pillar top and the pillar bottom is presented. The yellow lines in the schematic represent the traces of the Al2O3–GAP interface in the curved area. b Magnified image of the area in the orange square in (a). c–e SAED patterns with a zone axis of [010]GAP taken from the areas indicated by yellow circles in (b). The yellow lines trace the 00lGAP systematic reflections. The rotation angle of the Al2O3-GAP interface between the area corresponding to (c) and (d, e) is presented in (b).
