Multi-scale electron microscopy data package of nanoporosity in serpentinite
To determine the nature of serpentinite nanoporosity, we employed multidimensional electron microscopy in conjunction with granular simulations. We investigated samples from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the Røragen ultramafic complex (Norway) using scanning and transmission electron microscopy, as well as the electron backscatter diffraction technique (EBSD). Additionally, to obtain 3-D data, we performed nanotomography using focused-ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM). Our findings reveal that serpentinites act as nanoporous media, with pore sizes predominantly less than 100 nm. The data is organized into 10 folders referred to as Figure X, where X corresponds to the figure number in the primary publication. Detailed information about the files and methods employed can be found in the accompanying readme file.
