Two HAADF–STEM images are taken from lamellae with a thickness of 100 nm between the notch area and along the shear front (black rectangles marked with A and B in the volumetric strain map). For each cross-section, HAADF–STEM images show alternating contrast changes, which are related to the presence of shear bands in the material. Arrows pointing at the shear bands provide guidance for the eye.
