5.381  Quantum Dots

Data uploaded with a couple exceptions

I just finished uploading all the data to the stellar. I realized we forgot to take fluorescence data of the dyes and the industrial quantum dots so I am going to try and do that before lab tomorrow. I will let you know when I post that data to stellar.

Nice job today guys!

MATLAB powerpoint and files

I have just uploaded all of the MATLAB files that are necessary to perofrm the calculations. Note that not every file is necessary for each individual computation, but it is good to keep all the files in the same directory when using MATLAB.

I have also uploaded the MATLAB powerpoint that should help you perform some of the calculations. Please let me know if you ever want to meet to figure out the MATLAB portion together.
