NanoWSe2: Raw NanoPL and AFM Data for Strained Monolayer WSe2

NanoWSe2 contains raw nanoscale photoluminescence (NanoPL) maps and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) data for strained monolayer tungsten diselenide. Created by Lucas Liberal and hosted on Harvard Dataverse, this dataset provides the experimental foundation for research into quantum confinement emissions and single photon emitters published in ACS.

Use Cases

• Analyzing quantum confinement emissions using the provided .sif NanoPL maps
• Correlating surface topography from .sm4 AFM files with optical emission sites
• Testing tip-enhanced spectroscopy algorithms on raw experimental inputs

Strengths

• Includes raw .sif and .sm4 files directly from experimental equipment
• Provides untreated data for independent verification of ACS research findings
• Captures high-resolution nanoscale optical and physical properties

Limitations

• Requires specialized proprietary software to open .sif and .sm4 formats
• Lack of descriptive metadata for individual file parameters
• Small sample size focused on a single experimental study
