We used the Dutch national e-infrastructure with the support of the SURF Cooperative under grants EINF-1911 and EINF-4039. The Paul Scherrer Institute provided access to the PolLux beam line (proposals 20180709 and 20182195) and the XIL beam line (proposals 20220787, 20200726 and 20212384). The PolLux end station was financed by the German Ministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) through contracts 05K16WED and 05K19WE2. We acknowledge Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste for providing access to its synchrotron radiation facilities and for financial support. Part of the work was carried out at ARCNL, a public-private partnership of UvA, VU, NWO, and ASML. Original paper Q. Evrard et al., ACS Appl. Mater.
