Fig. 3 — a₁ Textures observed in reflection mode using cross-polarized microscopy. The yellow circle highlights the monophase or interface in core-shell configurations. The inserts in a₁, b₂, and c₂ are schematic illustrations of the arrangements of cubic cells at the interfaces of BPIII, BPII, and BPI or monophasic BPII and BPI. a₂, a₃ TEM images of the interface between BPI_{110} and BPII_{100}, b₁, b₂ the interface between BPI_{110} and BPIII, and c₁, c₂ the interface between BPII_{100} and BPIII. a₄ Syn-SAXS patterns with background subtracted from a monodomain a₄ hybrid phase of BPI_{110} and BPII_{100}. “BPII/I” refers to hybrid phases of BPII and BPI. The crystal lattices of BPI and BPII are coherent and a DTC can simultaneously exist in both BPI and BPII units, confirming that the DTC undergoes a reconfiguration process without diffusion. In addition, a DTC is observed across the interface of BPIII/BPI or BPIII/BPII, indicating that the DTCs do not diffuse when phase transition occurs from BPIII to BPII or BPI. The interfaces of BPI/BPII, BPII/BPIII, and BPI/BPIII are clear without a nearby transitional region. Based on the syn-SAXS results in reciprocal-space, the crystal orientation relationship between BPI and BPII is confirmed as {211}_BPI//{110}_BPII. Moreover, a perfect monodomain BPI with a large size is characterized.
