In particular the dataset contains the data recorded to generate the following figures included in the publication. 

The figures are as follows:


Fig. 1:  Fluorescence data for the quenching efficiency of 2D dicacogenide materials 

Fig. 2:  Fluorescence emission data of the ?max of the two typical peaks of UCNPs in the presence of increasing concentration of MoS2 or WS2 

Fig. 3:  Fluorescence spectra of ssDNA-coated UNCPs in the presence of increasing concentrations of complementary DNA targets

Fig. 4:  Data showing maximum nanoparticle fluorescence intensity bands measured at 540 nm and 655 nm for MoS2 and WS2 as a function of cDNA concentration

Fig. 5:  Fluorescence data in the prescence of a non-complementary target

Fig. S1: Raw TEM images of core and core shell UCNPs with corresponding histograms showing the size distribution of UCNPs 

Fig. S2: Raw XRD data of core and core shell UPCNPs

Fig. S3: Raw digital photographs of core and core shell UCNPs irradiated with a 980 nm laser
