Erratum to: J Mater Sci (2015) 50:8007–8017 DOI 10.1007/s10853-015-9367-4

The authors regret that some minor errors were found in our paper. However, it is important to note that they did not affect the contributions and conclusions of the investigation.

The values in the scale bars shown in Fig. 5b and d in the original article are incorrect; the reader should read 1.5 and 3 mW/mg, respectively. On page 8012, column 2, paragraph 4, the word solidus is misused twice; the reader should read liquidus instead. On page 8016, column 1, paragraph 1, the word eutectoid is unfortunately misused; the reader should read eutectic instead.

We would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused.
