# Data Structure

The data is labeled with a prefix to establish the author, experiment type, and experiment date:

    JPlumb-DFXM-Mar2023

Within each experimental folder, there are several subdirectories that contain relevant experimental files:

    "data" Folder:        Contains subfolders labeled by scan numbers in the format S### (e.g., S001, S002).        Raw data is collected and stored as 16-bit grayscale TIFF images.        Each scan represents either a single rocking curve imaging (RCI) scan, with a stack of images that were taken at various theta positions for a given sample location and two theta Bragg angle, or a time series scan that contains a stack of images taken over time, at a static theta position, and with variying sample temperature.     See Scan Group description below to learn which type of scan each folder represents.

    "logs" Folder:        Contains experimental logbooks.

    "structureFiles" Folder:        Contains .cif files with lattice parameters of different material structures (alpha and beta phases of NaMnO2).

    "referenceImages" Folder:        Includes optical microscope images of the sample in the as-measured state for reference.

    "motors" Folder:        Contains CSV files corresponding to each scan folder. These files include motor positions (theta, two-theta, XYZ) and other relevant experimental parameters.

    "scripts" Folder:        Contains basic analysis scripts for different scan groupings. Scans are grouped based on similarities and the intent behind their measurements.

    "cryostatData" Folder:        Contains data from the cryostat, recording sample temperature at various times throughout the experiment.

    "results" Folder:        Contains pre-processed maximum intensity projection images for each scan, providing a quick overview of the collected data.

# Data Processing and Analysis

Standard DFXM data processing involves fitting a Gaussian curve to the theta-dependent intensity curve of each pixel in a rocking curve imaging scan. Plotting various gaussian fit parameters for each pixel creates parameter maps that highlight different sources of contrast.

Basic analysis scripts (ex. MR23_SGA_basicAnalysis.py) are included for all scan groups in this repository. All analysis is done in Python 3, using various free packages and self-defined scripts are stored in a sub folder named DiffractionMaster. The code is updated as of June 2024.
