READ ME File For Dataset in support of the article "Multiscale geometrical and topological learning in the analysis of soft matter collective dynamics" Dataset DOI 10.5258/SOTON/D3769 ReadMe Author: Malgosia Kaczmarek, University of Southampton This dataset supports the publication: Tetiana Orlova, Malgosia Kaczmarek, Amaranta Membrillo Solis, Tristan Madeleine, Giampaolo D’Alessandro, Jacek Brodzki, Multiscale geometrical and topological learning in the analysis of soft matter collective dynamics, Physical Review Materials journal This dataset contains: Experimental data contains polarizing micrographs are taken after 1.5 min, 3 min and 36.9 s under an applied electric field. The computed image distance matrices for corresponding videos, where frame numbers were converted to seconds of real-time experimental videos Eigenvalues of the principal components and trajectories in the spaces of the first two and first three principal components for the moving ensembles of: shape-persistent soft quasi-particles, quasi-particles experiencing shape transformation, clustering quasi-particles. Time evolution of averaged quasiparticle and corresponding power spectra derived from FFT analysis. Time evolution of topological Ψ function computed for the case of moving pseudo-crystallite with shape-persistent localized structures, close-packed dynamic localized structures with shape transformation, dynamic clusters of localized structures. Corresponding power spectra derived from FFT analysis of the Ψ functions.
