16. Firstly, a significant number of nickel vacancies exist within nickel oxide at GBs due to the nature of the original GBs. Secondly, it is quite evident that nickel oxide thickness varies across the junction with the thinnest part on the central line. Thirdly, along the central line, the thickness of the oxide increases from either end approaching the narrowest part of the junction.
