Fig. 3: Atomic-scale synergistic interface structure in SL-MCS/MW NRs.

a Atomic-scale resolution HAADF-STEM image of SL-MCS region marked in Supplementary Fig. 5c with corresponding schematic diagrams of close-packing style and structural model, where A, B, C and a, b, c represent close-packing positions of Mn/Cd (gray sphere in structural model) and S (yellow sphere in structural model), respectively. b Magnified image of the area marked in (a). c Atom arrangement model of (b). d FFT pattern of (a). e Strain distribution of (a) simulated by GPA. f Atomic-scale resolution HAADF-STEM image of heterointerface in SL-MCS/MW NRs. g FFT pattern of (f). EDX mapping of (h) Mn, (i) Cd, (j) S, (k) W, and (l) O element, respectively.
