This file contains the dataset for "Spontaneous natural optical activity in disordered media" by F. A. Pinheiro, V. A. Fedotov, N. Papasimakis, N. I. Zheludev.

File list:
  - Fig2.xlsx: Two column file with the raw data of Fig. 2. The first (second) column corresponds to the real part of \ksi for a disordered medium consisting of 10 (700) scatterers.
  - Fig3.xlsx: Four column file with the graphs of Fig. 3. The first column contains the kl values, the 2nd and 3rd columns contain the standard deviation of the real and imaginary parts of \ksi normalized to that of a helix, and the fourth contains the standard deviation of the chirality measure \psi.
  - Fig4.xlsx: Seven column file with the graphs of Fig. 4. The first column corresponds to the rotation angle \phi in rad, the second (fifth), third (sixth) and fourth (seventh) column contain the max, min, and average values of the real (imaginary) part of \ksi plotted in Fig. 4a (4b).
  - Fig5.txt: Four column file with the data of Fig. 5. The first column corresponds to wavelength (in nm), the second and third correspond to the average and standard deviation of the differential absorption for left and right circular polarized light for 310 random configurations of 25 nanoparticles. The fourth column contains the differential absorption for a helical configuration of 25 nanoparticles.
