CdSe Quantum Dots Sonochemically Synthesized in the Presence of Oleic Acid & Oleylamine at different concentrations- UV-Vis Spectra, Photoluminescence, SAXS

Conntent Smmary: 

Data from experiments in which CdSe quantum dots and magic sized clusters were sonochemically synthesized in the presence of Oleic Acid and Oleylamine at different concentration. A total of 625 unique sample conditions were tested, in triplicates using an open-hardware sonochemical materials acceleration platform (Jubilee) and a liquid handling robot ( Opentrons)

Notebooks for loading and plotting the data

README: 

/Spectral_Data

The primary portion of te experimental dataset. UV-Vis spectroscopy was collected on a Biotek Epoch 2 micropate spectrometer.  The Photoluminescence data was collected on a Biotek Synergy H1 microplate spectrometer. Notebook to visualize the data can also be found in this folder. 

The "CdSe_sample_info.csv" contains all the sample information, including:

Metal precursors and ligands concentration (M)

Labware information- name, OT2 deck location, plate number

Sample code- this is a combination of plate # and well position within the plate

The "CdSe_Summary_Final.csv" contains all the sample information, along with the key parameters extracted from the UV-Vis and Photoluminescence data. These include, first peak position & peak intensity from both spectroscopic tecniques, particle diameter ( based on the UV-Vis peak position)  for all 3 replicates. 

Finally,there are 3 notebooks to visualize the data in their spectral form, for both pre and post processing of the samples, as well as the notebook to recreate the scatterplot visualization of the summary parameters from the spectroscopic techniques implemented. 

/Spectral_Data/Spectral_Data_Files

Folder containing all the raw data for the pre and post processing of the CdSe samples for UV-Vis spectroscopy and Photoluminescence spectroscopy. 

/SAXS_Data

Folder containing all the data small-angle X-ray scattering data. This was collected on a Xenocs Xeuss 3.0 SAXS instrument. 

The "SAXS_Sample_Composition.csv"  file contains the composition of precursors and ligands for the subset of samples tested using small-angle scattering. 

Notebooks to visualized the SAXS profiles obtained for all samples characterized, as well as their comparison with UV-Vis data can also be found in this folder. 

/SAXS_Data/Reduced_Raw_Data

Folder containing the 1D data obtained from the reduction of the 2D dector data for each sample tested at three different dector distances ( 50, 370, and 900 nm). 

/SAXS_Data/Processed_Data

Folder containing the final process SAXS data which includes merging of the data in the 3 tested instrumental configuration and subsequent background subtraction. 

/SAXS_Data/McSAS_Fit_Data

Folder containing the results obtained form fitting the SAXS data from the diluted samples using the McSAS Python software. The fitting parameters used for the samples can be found in the "SAXS_Sample_McSAS_Fitting_Parameters.csv" file.

/SAXS_Data/UV-Vis_Data/ 

Folder containing the UV-Vis data of the subset of samples characterized using SAXS.
