abstract = {The self-assembly of nanoparticles into highly ordered
crystals is largely influenced by variations in the size and
shape of the constituent particles, with crystallization
generally not observed if their polydispersity is too large.
Here, we report on size selectivity in the self-assembly of
rounded cubic maghemite nanoparticles into three-dimensional
mesocrystals. Different X-ray scattering techniques are used
to study and compare a nanoparticle dispersion that is used
later for self-assembly, an ensemble of mesocrystals grown
on a substrate, as well as an individual mesocrystal. The
individual μm-sized mesocrystal is isolated using a
focused-ion-beam-based technique and investigated by the
diffraction of a micro-focused X-ray beam. Structural
analysis reveals that individual mesocrystals have a
drastically smaller size dispersity of nanoparticles than
that in the initial dispersion, implying very strong size
selectivity during self-assembly. The small size dispersity
of the nanoparticles within individual mesocrystals is
accompanied by a very narrow lattice parameter distribution.
In contrast, the lattice parameter distribution within all
mesocrystals of an ensemble is about four times wider than
that of individual mesocrystals, indicating significant size
fractionalization between mesocrystals during self-assembly.
The small size dispersity within each mesocrystal has
important implications for their physical properties.},
