Extended Data Fig. 2. Deformation mechanisms of the investigated MCAs.

Extended Data Fig. 2

a, ECC images of the S-MCA and L-MCA. The formation of the particle-free zone can be identified in the L-MCA. b, Fracture surface morphologies of the L-MCA. The enlarged view shows the presence of intergranular fracture at the triple junction of GBs with dimpled topology at one side of the grain facets. c, ECCI analysis showing the microbands and the shearing of the particles in the S-MCA and L-MCA.
