Figure 6

TEM observations of the composite near the interface between the glassy reinforcement and fcc-Al matrix after deformation.

(a) TEM micrograph indicating the existence of dislocations near the interface. (b) TEM micrograph showing stacking faults near the interface. (c) High-resolution TEM micrograph showing a close-up of the interface between the matrix and the glassy reinforcement. (d) Reconstructed TEM image from the inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) using the reflections indicated by red circles in the inset indicating dislocations in an area of the Al matrix close to the interface; the inset corresponds to the fast Fourier transform (FFT) pattern. (e) Reconstructed IFFT-TEM image of the area highlighted by red dash rectangular in (b) showing the stacking faults at the atomic scale.
