Abstract

At the request of the Authors, the following article has been retracted on 17 March 2021 (See the Retraction notice).

The following article has been retracted. Shortly after publication, the Editorial Board of EPJ Applied Physics received comments from a specialist in electron microscopy and analysis. He pointed out that the paper presented severe errors dealing with the microanalysis spectrum presented in one of the figures. As a conclusion, the presented EDS spectrum could not correspond to the studied sample. After careful consideration, the Editorial Board of EPJ Applied Physics asked for the retraction of this paper, due to the fundamental nature of the mistakes in the data and analysis of EDS spectrum, upon which the conclusion of the paper was incorrectly found.

The Authors accept this decision and request the retraction of the paper.
