(color online) (a) ABF image of 70 nm LiFePO4 viewed at the [010] zone axis. The staging area is marked by dashed yellow lines. (b)–(d) Enlarged images of LiFePO4, FePO4 phase and interfacial phase with staging structure, corresponding to the tubes, green and red squares in (a), respectively. (e) and (f) The line profiles issued from the ABF image correspond to different colored lines in (d).[56]
