Figure 5. Amorphous aggregation in dynamically deformed nacre.

Figure 5

(a) Amorphous aggregation is surrounded by aragonite nanoparticles with random orientations characterized by FFT pattern (inset). (b) FFT without clear spot pattern from white boxed region shows a characteristic of amorphous aggregation. (c) A closer-up view of amorphous aggregation from corresponding white boxed area in (a) shows a mosaic feature.
