Correlative atom probe tomography and scanning transmission electron microscopy reveal growth sequence of LPSO phase in Mg alloy containing Al and Gd

Abstract Atom probe tomography (APT) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM)/scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) have been used correlatively to explore atomic-scale local structure and chemistry of the exactly same area in the vicinity of growth front of a long-period stacking order...
