TEM of corrugated lamellae derived from the condensed atom clusters in Fig. 2by further room-temperature aging for 10 days in water.a,b BFI and SAED pattern.c Intensity profile across the diffraction rings in SAED pattern showing diffractions of atomic clusters (denoted asAC), nanotubes (denoted asT) and MTP/fcc nanoparticles with (hkl) specified.d Lattice imaging shows bifurcation/entanglement of the lamellae as well as (e) and (f) partial epitaxy nucleation of the lamellae from MTP having one of the penetrating lamellar layer sets (denoted as blackdotted lines) nearly parallel to (200) and (111) of MTP, respectively
