Experimental validation of the simulated ‘TF case 1’. (a) A boron carbide branched nanostructure made of three legs. All legs were confirmed as TF nanowires. When tilting to the [001] zone axis, (b) TEM results of the upper leg show no characteristic features of planar defects. However, the analyzed diffraction pattern agrees with our simulated ‘TF case 1’. TEM results of the (c) left and (d) right legs show characteristic features of TF planar defects.
