# DATA & FILE OVERVIEW

Batch 1 - folder contains TEM image files for particles that were uncoated (AuNPs) and particles where the SiO2 shell had been synthesised for a specific amount of time (XXX mins) from 2 - 240 mins separated into the individual folders 
Batch 2 - folder contains TEM image files for particles that were uncoated (AuNPs) and particles where the SiO2 shell had been synthesised for a specific amount of time (XXX mins) from 10 - 240 mins separated into the individual folders 
Batch 3 - folder contains TEM image files for particles where the SiO2 shell had been synthesised for a specific amount of time (XXX mins) from 30 - 65 mins separated into the individual folders 
DCS Sheet for diameter and shell thicknesses - an excel spreadsheet to use when calculating the "true" diameter of AuNPs and the shell thicknesses of SHINs - created by Martin Volk
