Dataset contains an excel file with each tab labelled in relation to the figure the data is used for. 
Methods of data collection are described here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0040609021004983?via%3Dihub
Figure 1 data is split into four tabs, with each tab containing one dataset for the bismuth/germanium data, and the second for the telluride data. Each dataset contains a column for binding energy (eV) for x axis for all plots. The remaining columns are for the measured data (raw data measured by the tool), followed by the fitted peaks for each corresponding elemental peak, the background fit, the envelope and residuals. 
The four tabs are for the following samples: 
1.	as-deposited bismuth telluride XPS data
2.	annealed bismuth telluride XPS data
3.	as-deposited germanium telluride XPS data 
4.	annealed germanium telluride XPS data 
Figure 2 data is split into two tabs, with each tab containing three datasets, one for the SiO2/polyimide reference, one for the as-deposited sample and one for the annealed sample. Each dataset has the XRD angle for the x axis and the intensity for the y axis. The tabs are split for the samples for:
1.	bismuth telluride XRD data
2.	germanium telluride XRD data 
Figure 3 data is in one tab, with two datasets included, one for the voltage vs. temperature (with error in voltage), and the other for the power output vs. temperature (with error in power), for bismuth telluride and germanium telluride, with and without an anneal.
