Time-resolved SAXS measurements of assembly of mesocrystals by evaporation-driven poor-solvent enrichment in a levitating droplet. Schematic illustrations of: a the real-time SAXS measurement of a levitating droplet and; b the processing of the scattering data. c–e Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution SEM (HRSEM) images of the mesocrystals formed in the levitating drops of: c sample #D1; d sample #D2; e sample #D3. Scale bar = 1 μm for all SEM images and = 100 nm for all HRSEM images. f–h Time-resolved scattering data, cDL(t) (black open squares), Q*(t) (red open spheres), and A(111)(t) (blue open triangles) for: f sample #D1; g sample #D2; h sample #D3. The insets in (h) show droplet images at t = ~270 s and ~310 s. The entire data set is displayed in Supplementary Fig. 18. The red and blue marked areas indicate the periods of nucleation/early crystal growth and the major crystal growth stage, respectively
