Fig. 8: Silicon carbide nanoparticle used for experimental demonstration of MR-BCDI.

a Schematic of the design of the lithographically fabricated SiC nanoparticle with facets aligned closely with crystallographic directions of the parent 4H single crystal substrate. b A scanning electron micrograph of the nanoparticle used in the study. The portion of the particle that retained a high degree of crystallinity from which BCDI scans were done is circled in red. c A central slice through the six Bragg peaks measured from this crystal (top row), alongside this same slice after MR-BCDI optimization and image reconstruction (bottom row).
