Wide-range X-ray scattering datasets and analyses for all samples described in the 2020 publication "Gold and silver dichroic nanocomposite in the quest for 3D printing the Lycurgus cup". These datasets are composed by combining multiple small-angle x-ray scattering and wide-angle x-ray scattering curves into a single dataset. They have been analyzed using McSAS to extract polydispersities and volume fractions. They have been collected using the MOUSE project (instrument and methodology).
In recent years, we have come to appreciate the astounding intricacy of the formation process of minerals from ions in aqueous solutions. In this context, a number of studies have revealed that nucleation in the calcium sulfate system is non-classical, involving the aggregation and reorganization of nanosized prenucleation particles. In a recent work we have shown that this particle-mediated nucleation pathway is actually imprinted in the resultant single micron-sized CaSO4 crystals. This property of CaSO4 minerals provides us with an unique opportunity to search for evidence of non-classical nucleation pathways in geological environments. In particular, we focused on the quintessential single crystals of anhydrite extracted from the Naica mine in Mexico. We elucidated the growth history from this mineral sample by mapping growth defects at different length scales. Based on these data we argue that the nano-scale misalignment of the structural sub-units observed in the initial calcium sulfate crystal seed propagate through different length-scales both in morphological, as well as strictly crystallographic aspects, eventually causing the formation of large mesostructured single crystals of anhydrite. Hence, the nanoparticle mediated nucleation mechanism introduces a 'seed of imperfection', which leads to a macroscopic single crystal, in which its fragments do not fit together at different length-scales in a self-similar manner. Consequently, anisotropic voids of various sizes are formed with very well-defined walls/edges. But, at the same time the material retains its essential single crystal nature. These findings shed new light on the longstanding concept of crystal structure.
OpenSCAD, STL and technical drawings for the capillary flow-through cell designed primarily for use with The MOUSE instruments.
This flow-through cell can be used in conjunction with:
- Modular sample holder (10.5281/zenodo.7499416)
- Solid sample rack/plate (10.5281/zenodo.7499424)
- Laser-cut sample holder (10.5281/zenodo.7499437)
Technical drawings and documents for building a compact, heated, vacuum compatible flow-through sample holder. This holder is in use at the BAM MOUSE instrument as well as at the I22 beamline at the Diamond Light Source (see references for instrument details).
This holder has several features:
- The holder can be used in vacuum environments as well as in atmosphere
- It has two G 1/4" UNF fittings to attach HPLC tubing for (optionally) flowing a medium through the sample cell
- There are two additional (unflowed) sample positions for backgrounds and calibrants, held at the same temperature
- The low-mass design coupled with a 250W heating element can achieve heating rates of 1 degree C per second, when coupled (for example) with an Omron E5CC PID controller.
- The sample holder insert can be made from various materials depending on the application. Sealing the sample from the vacuum can be achieved using kapton, teflon or Magic tape, depending on the temperature requirements. The inlet and outlet holes will need to be punctured with a needle to enable flow.
- Large exit cones ensure a clear exit angle of at least 45 degrees two theta.
- It has been tested with temperatures up to 400 degrees C.
- Compression area has been raised and polished to ensure a good vacuum seal.

This dataset is a complete set of raw, processed and analyzed data, complete with Jupiter notebooks, associated with the manuscript mentioned in the title.
In the manuscript, we provide a "systems architecture"-like overview and detailed discussions of the methodological and instrumental components that, together, comprise the "MOUSE" project (Methodology Optimization for Ultrafine Structure Exploration). Through this project, we aim to provide a comprehensive methodology for obtaining the highest quality X-ray scattering information (at small and wide angles) from measurements on materials science samples.
This dataset is a complete set of raw, processed and analyzed data, associated with the manuscript mentioned in the title.
All associated metadata and processing history has been added. Particle size distribution analyses using McSAS are included as well.
The samples consisted of a 4.2 mass% dispersion of yttria-stabilized zirconia nanoparticles in a cross-linked matrix. The measurements show a good dispersion with minimal agglomeration. The wide-angle region shows diffraction information consistent with zirconia.
