a Element mapping by SEM-EDS (O, Mg, Y, La, Nd, Gd, Fe, Ni and Cu) distribution analysis corresponding to those second phase particles. b Diffraction pattern image; under examination by TEM (Bright field, dark field). c Second phases identified in WE43, α-Mg, Gd9.08 Mg45.9, and Gd0.75 Mg0.25, HRTEM images were taken from specific sites marked with A & B. Lower left image, a cluster of nanoparticles of uniform size and quasi-spherical geometry approximately 5 nm. d XRD patterns of the WE43
