Reproducibility and Repository Structure

The archive is organized by manuscript figure and supplementary figure.
Each figure-related subdirectory contains the corresponding analysis notebooks, exported data products, and plotting scripts required to reproduce the associated results.

The repository further contains:

  • the main experimental HDF5 dataset from the KMC3-XPP beamtime at BESSYII:  (252-cw33-13528-pudell.h5),

  • reciprocal space map (RSM) data processing and exports,

  • simulation input/output files,

  • auxiliary processing scripts,

  • and notebook-based analysis workflows.

The analyses were performed in a Python/Jupyter environment and rely on the nx5d package for data processing and udkm1Dsim Toolbox for modelling .
For reproducibility, the archive includes:

  • a pinned Python package environment (requirements-core.txt),

  • and the exact JupyterHub container image specification used for notebook execution.

Detailed repository structure, software environment information, and execution instructions are provided in the included README.md.
