High resolution observations of interface dynamics using a direct electron detection camera

4/6 Multilayer step—Last 0.05 s

  • Step height n/m=4/6 – 4 planes in lower grain meet 6 planes in the upper grain
  • Preserved ABAB…stacking sequence over the step interface
  • Buried step parallel to the surface forms during step migration (b-d)
  • “Shadow” of the step most likely due to remanence at the surface (e)
