Scanning electron microscopy images and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy of inclusions within AlSi10Mg mirrors created using additive manufacturing
(2025-10) Atkins, Carolyn; Tammas-Williams, Samuel; Laidlaw, Fraser H. J.; Westwood, Dominic; Aziz, Ilhan; Chahid, Younes; Snell, Robert M.; McPhee, Scott; Cowan, Jason
The data provided herein describes the evaluation of inclusions within the surfaces of six aluminium mirrors created using additive manufacturing in the alloy AlSi10Mg. The inclusions are frequently observed to cause scratches on the mirror surface and by identification, routes for mitigation can be provided. The inclusions were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and subsequently were observed to be either aluminium oxides or contaminating metal alloys. The mirrors utilised different additive manufacturing machines with different operation environments, which allow the data to inform on routes where contamination has occurred.
The data are organised by sample (mirror) number and the evaluated inclusion, with individual files describing topography and spectroscopy. The mirrors were approx. 50 mm in diameter and between 5 and 10 mm in height. The equipment used was a Zeiss Crossbeam 550 FIB-SEM located at the University of Edinburgh. Five detectors on the FIB-SEM were used in data collection: InLens, SESI, ESD, BSD4 and EDS.

Tracking boron coordination change with temperature in a barium borosilicate glass melt by neutron diffraction
(2025-10-02) Alderman, Oliver
Gudrun input files and numerical data for the neutron structure factors SN(Q) and total correlation functions TN(r). Pertaining to the publication Alderman, O.L.G., Tracking boron coordination change with temperature in a barium borosilicate glass melt by neutron diffraction, Phys. Rev. Mater., 2025: Accepted. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1103/slv2-dtwz The file Run_summary.txt relates the filenames to the sample compositions in the publication, the temperatures at which they were measured and the cell material, as well as to the leading run numbers for each 'sample' in the Gudrun input files. Note that in the original upload the SN(Q) mint01 files suffered from rounding errors. This has been corrected herein, on 02/10/2025.

Dataset for the experiment OMEAG_SAI-23A, written up in manuscript "Performance Enhancement of Direct-Drive Shock Augmented Ignition Inertial Fusion Implosions through Shock Timing Optimisation"
(2025-06-17) Khan, Matthew Ben; Churnetski, Kristen; Barlow, Duncan; Betti, Riccardo ; Freeman, Calum; Glize, Kevin; Kunimune, Justin; Lees, Aarne; Mancini, Roberto C.; Nutter, Arun; Paddock, Robert; Regan, Sean; Stoeckl, Christian; Theobald, Wolfgang; Woolsey, Nigel; Scott, R.H.H.
Data taken during the OMEAG_SAI-23A "Shock Augmented Ignition" shot day. Investigated the novel scheme of Shock Augmented Ignition (SAI) [10.1103/PhysRevLett.129.195001] for Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) [10.1063/1.4934714]. Data from multiple diagnostics were taken. Diagnostics include neutron, proton, and x-ray imagers. All were used to assess the performance of the implosion and the dependency on the timing of the central "augmenting shock".
