The coherent interface betweenthe metallic matrix and an ordered L12 precipitate (left) and deuterium atoms (red) preferentially concentrated within the precipitate (right)

Caption

Atomic-resolution electron microscopy (left) reveals the coherent interface between the metallic matrix and an ordered L12 precipitate. Cryogenic atom probe tomography (right) shows deuterium atoms (red) preferentially concentrated within the precipitate, providing evidence consistent with interstitial hydrogen in solid solution.
