Embedded samples were cut perpendicular to the nanowire axis into 70-150 nm thick slices using a diamond ultramicrotome knife and then transferred onto Cu/lacey-carbon TEM grids. TEM images and EDS line scans were obtained using a field emission TEM/STEM (JEOL 2010F) operated at 200 kV while EDS elemental mapping was conducted using a VG HB603 STEM.
