Figure 3444 shows high-resolution HAADF Z-contrast STEM images presenting the interface between Si3N4 matrix (on the top of each image) and the mixtures (at the bottom of each image) of  Yb2O3 and Al2O3 (a) and  Yb2O3 and SiO2 (b). The Yb atoms, visible here as bright spots due to enhanced electron scattering (giving higher Z-contrast), are located periodically along the interface. The images are oriented along the low-index zone axis [0001] of Si3N4.
