Photoluminescence Turn-on Method to Determine the Kinetics of Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Materials (dataset)

Dataset

Description

Solution Measurements
The data of the PL turn-on solution measurements and the PL turn-on fit are in the folder `Solution Measurements`.
The files with the extension `.npz` contain the compressed full raw data of all recorded channels.
The files with the extension `.dat` contain the time corrected for the turn-on pulse to occur at 0 s and channel 4, which contains the PL rise signal.
For the PL turn-on fit, the data in `4CzIPN-01-VAC.npz` with the IRF recorded in `4CzIPN-01-IRF.npz` was used.
The file with the extension `.csv` contains the data used for fitting as well as the obtained PL turn-on fit.
Film Measurements
The folder `Film Measurements` contains the data for the film measurements.
The files with the extension `.npz` contains the compressed full raw data of all recorded channels.
The files with the extension `.csv` contain the time corrected for the turn-on pulse to occur at 0s and channel 4, which contains the PL rise signal. To reduce noise, the datapoints of the film measurements were smoothed over 10 points using `numpy.convolve` in python.

#### TCSPC

The folder `TCSPC` contains the files of the reference TCSPC data.
The files with the extension `.FL` contain the data of the measurements in a proprietary format.
The files with the extension `.csv` contain the ASCII export of the corresponding `.FL` files.
Reading `.npz` Files
NPZ files contain binary file in the format of the python package NumPy.
The data can be read in python with the package `numpy` as follows.
```python
import numpy as np

path = ... # Path to file
data = np.load(path)

print(data["header"]) # Prints headers of all recorded data
print(data["unit"]) # Prints the unit of the recorded data

time = data[0] # returns a np.array of the time
intensity = data[4] # returns a np.array of the recorded PL signal.
