HYPOD-X: Comprehensive experimental datasets of quasicrystals and their approximants

NoteIf you use HYPOD-X as a resource in your research, please cite the following paper.Fujita, E., Liu, C., Ishikawa, A. et al. Comprehensive experimental datasets of quasicrystals and their approximants. Sci. Data 11, 1211 (2024). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-024-04043-zOverviewQuasicrystals are solid-state materials with unique symmetries, such as icosahedral and decagonal diffraction patterns, first discovered in 1984. Since then, numerous quasicrystals have been identified, and extensive research has been conducted to explore their properties. However, a systematically organized dataset compiling the findings has not been available. Additionally, the difficulty of applying calculations due to quasiperiodicity has hindered the development of datasets. To address this issue, we developed HYPOD-X by focusing on experimental data. The data were manually or semi-automatically extracted from scientific literature and then organized in an accessible CSV format. We hope that this dataset will serve as a foundation for furture experimental investigations and drive new discoveries.DatasetsComposition datasetContent: 1,448 compositionsData source: Text or tables in literature from 130 journal articlesPhase region datasetContent: 556 phases, 16,208 pointsData source: Figures of 49 Al ternary phase diagramsProperties datasetContents: 1,449 temperature-dependent curves, 52,311 data pointsData source: 490 figures in 193 papers
