DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA
Dataset supporting the University of Southampton Doctoral Thesis "Improving performances of self-powered liquid crystal devices by doping and photovoltaic layers engineering". 

The dataset contains a "ReadMe.txt" file that explains how to read the data, and a "Thesis data - Brouckaert Nicolas.rar" file that is a compressed folder containing all the data divided in several topics. Each topic contain an "index.xlxs" file that helps to quickly identify where any relevant data is located.

This dataset contains:
 
	_ Data related to gold nanoparticles called "AzoGNPs": Contains OMPA measurements, analysis, and any related reports
	_ Data related to ferroelectric nanoparticles called "FNPs": Contains OMPA measurements, analysis, and any related reports
	_ Data related to PSLMs called "PSLM": Contains OMPA measurements, analysis, pictures, AFM data and any related reports
	_ Data related to zinc oxide called "ZnONPs": Contains OMPA measurements, analysis, and any related reports
	_ A one slide presentation about the laser conditions and parameters
	_ Data related to liquid crystal used (pure or doped) such as their different parameters measured or gathered from literature in the form of .txt files

OMPA measurement data can be read using MatLab



Date of data collection: from 2021 to 2023

Information about geographic location of data collection: Data were collected at the university of Southampton. Some measurements such as I-V curves or AFM were respectively done in the Icube laboratory (Strasbourg, France) and Unité de Catalyse et Chimie du Solide Site Artois (Lens, France).
