Python module "optbayesexpt" uses optimal Bayesian experimental design methods to control measurement settings in order to efficiently determine model parameters. Given a parametric model - analogous to a fitting function - Bayesian inference uses each measurement "data point" to refine model parameters. Using this information, the software suggests measurement settings that are likely to efficiently reduce uncertainties. A TCP socket interface allows the software to be used from experimental control software written in other programming languages.

Materials discovery and development necessarily begins with the preparation and identification of product phase(s). Crystalline compounds can be identified by their characteristic diffraction patterns using X-rays, neutrons, and or electrons. An estimated 20,000 X-ray diffractometers and a comparable number of electron microscopes are used daily in materials research and development laboratories for this purpose.

SEDCORR is an open-source Python module designed to correct for the systematic energy deficits in atom probe mass spectra of electrically insulating samples. The assumption of the algorithm is that the mass spectrum for a dataset is conserved throughout the dataset and that any changes to the peak positions arise from an unknown slowly-fluctuating accelerating voltage. For computational speed, the unknown accelerating voltage is determined using a template matching FFT-based cross correlation method.

SCATMECH is a library of object-oriented C++ computer codes originally developed for disseminating models for polarized light scattering from surfaces and aerosols and for diffraction from gratings. The pySCATMECH package has been developed as an interface to the SCATMECH library, simplifying use of the codes and allowing for more rapid development of software for these applications.

The project that produced these data involved the analysis and modeling of atmospheric Asian dust particles and background marine air particles collected in Hawaii, USA at the Mauna Loa Observatory (MLO) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Individual heterogeneous dust particles were analyzed with focused ion-beam scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.

This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended for use as a primary calibration standard for the quantitative determination of barium. A unit of SRM 3104a consists of five 10 mL sealed borosilicate glass ampoules of an acidified aqueous solution prepared gravimetrically to contain a known mass fraction of barium. The solution contains nitric acid at a volume fraction of approximately 1 %, which is equivalent to a concentration (molarity) of approximately 0.16 mol/L. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.

This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended for use as a primary calibration standard for the quantitative determination of germanium. A unit of SRM 3120a consists of 50 mL of a single element solution in a high density polyethylene bottle sealed in an aluminized bag. The solution was prepared gravimetrically to contain a known mass fraction of germanium. The solution contains nitric acid at a concentration of approximately 1.6 mol/L and hydrofluoric acid at a concentration of approximately 0.6 mol/L. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.
