Data items are individual files uploaded to Atomscale. Each data item represents a single measurement or recording from an instrument: a RHEED video, an XPS spectrum, an SEM micrograph, a tool state log, and so on.

​
Data Types

Every data item is classified by its data type. The platform supports these types, grouped by category:

​
RHEED

Data TypeDescription
RHEED RotatingRHEED pattern captured during substrate rotation.
RHEED StationaryRHEED pattern captured with the substrate held still.
RHEED ImageA single RHEED pattern image.
RHEED Radial ScanA radial scan sequence for lattice-spacing analysis.

​
Spectroscopy

Data TypeDescription
XPSX-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectrum.
RamanRaman spectroscopy data.
PhotoluminescencePhotoluminescence emission spectrum.
OESOptical emission spectroscopy data.
ARPESAngle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy data.

​
Imaging

Data TypeDescription
SEMScanning electron microscopy image.
Optical ImageOptical microscopy or camera image.

​
Other

Data TypeDescription
Tool StateMetrology and instrument log data (temperatures, pressures, flow rates).
EllipsometryEllipsometry measurement data.
SIMSSecondary ion mass spectrometry data.
RecipeGrowth recipe file.
OtherAny file type not covered above.

​
Pipeline Status

After upload, each data item moves through a processing pipeline. The status reflects where it is in that process:
StatusDescription
PendingQueued for processing.
RunningAnalysis workflow is actively processing.
SuccessProcessing completed successfully.
ErrorProcessing failed.
StoredFile stored but not processed (quarantined).
Stream ActiveLive stream is currently recording.
Stream PausedLive stream is paused.
Stream InterruptedLive stream was unexpectedly interrupted.
Stream FinalizingLive stream is being finalized into a data item.
Stream ErrorAn error occurred during streaming.

​
Associations

Each data item can be linked to:
AssociationRelationshipDescription
Physical SampleOptional, oneThe growth run this data came from.
Growth InstrumentOptional, oneThe instrument that produced this data.
Target MaterialOptional, oneThe material being measured.
TagsMany-to-manyFlexible labels for filtering and grouping.
NotesOptional, oneFree-form notes attached to this data item.
You can set these associations from the Data catalog table or from a data item’s detail page.

​
Adding Data

The Add Data dialog provides four methods for getting data into the platform:
  1. Upload: manually select files from your computer. Uploaded files can trigger automations if configured.
  2. Stream: record your screen to stream RHEED data directly into the platform. Only RHEED data is currently supported for streaming.
  3. File Watcher: install a Windows application that watches a local directory for new files and uploads them automatically. Requires an API key from your user settings.
  4. API Integration: use your API key to programmatically upload data. See the API reference for details.
