Nanoscale Mapping of Heterogeneous Strain and Defects in Individual Magnetic Nanocrystals

We map the three-dimensional strain heterogeneity within a single core-shell Ni nanoparticle using Bragg coherent diffractive imaging. We report the direct observation of both uniform displacements and strain within the crystalline core Ni region. We identify non-uniform displacements and dislocatio...
