METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION
--------------------------

Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: 
SEM, SEM-EDS, and EBSD were operated on two SEM machines, including a JEOL JSM-7200F FEG-SEM equipped with a C-Nano EBSD detector, and a JEOL JSM-7900F FEG-SEM equipped with an Oxford Instruments AZtec Xmax-170 for EDS and an Oxford Instruments Aztec HKL Advanced Symmetry System for EBSD. The SEM images and EDS scans were taken at an accelerating voltage between 15-20 kV using Aztec. All the EBSD data were collected at an accelerating voltage of 20 kV using Aztec. The EDS and EBSD data were analysed using Aztec and AztecCrystal software, respectively.
TEM images and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) scans were taken on an FEI Talos F200X microscope equipped with a Super-X G2 EDS detector, operated at an accelerating voltage of 200 kV. TEM images and EDS data were recorded and analysed by Digital Micrograph and Aztec, respectively.

Methods for processing the data: Aztec and AztecCrystal software, Digital Micrograph

Software- or Instrument-specific information needed to interpret the data, including software and hardware version numbers:
Aztec and AztecCrystal software for EDS and EBSD, Digital Micrograph for TEM
