On page 1822, Benjamin Balke and co-workers report the thermodynamically stable phase separation of a Heusler compound induced by rapid cooling from the liquid phase. A linear combination of the different element-specific energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) mappings (with brightness proportional to the concentration) is shown. The phase separation forms an ordered 3D flower-like structure on the microscale.
