Raw data contained in paper "Multilayer precursors for enhanced Sm2+ and Tm2+ in SiAlO thin films prepared by magnetron sputtering"

The contents of this dataset concern raw data files and scripts used to generate the figures 2, 3, 5 – 12, described in the paper "Multilayer precursors for enhanced Sm²⁺ and Tm²⁺ in SiAlO thin films prepared by magnetron sputtering". In this research work, the high concentration of undesired Sm³⁺ causes low absorption observed in SiAlO:Sm thin films prepared by magnetron sputtering. The article also proposes an alternative deposition process for obtaining Sm doped SiAlO layers with enhanced Sm²⁺ absorption by incorporating Sm by multilayer thin-film precursors composed of metallic Sm and SiAlO layers. Finally, it communicates Tm²⁺ PL and PLE data on SiAlO hosts. Each dataset and script needed to generate each figure are separated. The data was generated by UV-VIS transmittance, photoluminescence emission (PL) and excitation (PLE), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of the Sm's 3d^5/2 edge. The data collection methods are described in the experimental section of the paper. PL and PLE data are given in .nc files, the analyzed results given by XPS are collected in .xls files, and the transmittance data are given as text files.<br>

本数据集涵盖用于生成论文《磁控溅射制备SiAlO薄膜中增强Sm²⁺与Tm²⁺的多层前驱体》（"Multilayer precursors for enhanced Sm²+ and Tm²+ in SiAlO thin films prepared by magnetron sputtering"）中图2、3、5至12的原始数据文件与脚本。本研究中，磁控溅射制备的SiAlO:Sm薄膜呈现低吸收特性，其成因是体系中存在高浓度的非目标Sm³+（三价钐离子）。该论文还提出了一种替代沉积工艺：通过由金属钐层与SiAlO层构成的多层薄膜前驱体引入钐元素，制备出Sm掺杂SiAlO薄膜，实现Sm²+吸收性能的提升。此外，本研究还提供了SiAlO基质材料的Tm²+光致发光（PL, Photoluminescence）与光致发光激发（PLE, Photoluminescence Excitation）数据。生成每张图表所需的数据集与脚本均已独立分离。本数据集的数据通过紫外-可见光（UV-VIS）透过率测试、光致发光发射（PL）与激发（PLE）测试，以及针对Sm 3d₅/₂轨道的X射线光电子能谱（XPS, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy）测试获取，数据采集方法详见论文的实验部分。其中，PL与PLE数据以.nc格式文件存储，XPS分析结果收录于.xls格式文件中，透过率数据则以文本文件形式提供。
