(a) The SEM images of sample A in three different position areas, as indicated by the red circles. (b) and (c) The SEM micrographs of the interface between the crystallization region and the glass matrix of samples B and C; EDS-mappings of different elements correspond to the marked white rectangular boxes; the atomic percentage corresponding to statistical average of the points is indicated by the cross on the SEM image.
