      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.},
