X-ray tomography dataset for 'Caught in the act: The mechanism of eutectic modification by trace impurities'

Creator:: Moniri, Saman, Xiao, Xianghui, and Shahani, Ashwin J.
Description:: The data file is comprised of 22,500 X-ray projections (15 scans of 1500 projections each) recorded during solidification of Al-Ge-Na. The raw data file is in .hdf format and can be reconstructed into .tiff, e.g., by using the TomoPy toolbox in Python.
Keyword:: X-ray microtomography, synchrotron, in situ, 4D materials science, irregular eutectic, growth, and solidification

Creator:: Moniri, Saman, Bale, Hrishikesh , Volkenandt, Tobias, Wang, Yeqing, Gao, Jianrong, Lu, Tianxian, Sun, Kai, and Shahani, Ashwin J.
Description:: The data file contains (1) the grayscale images of the nano-tomography experiments that can be segmented into binary images and visualized to show the 3D morphology of spiral eutectics; and (2) crystallographic orientation maps of serial-sectioned sample, which can be processed in a variety of EBSD software packages.
Keyword:: crystallization, chirality, self-organization, and spiral eutectics

Description:: The data is comprised of 22 directories, each housing a .hdf file of the X-ray projections recorded during solidification of Al-Si-Cu-Sr. The flat and dark projections are also included as two separate .hdf files (total file count: 24). The raw data file is in .hdf format and can be reconstructed into .tiff, e.g., by using the TomoPy toolbox in Python.
