I Have a Research Support System

on Monday.

In the new week, Xu Qiu continued to finish the finishing work of the P4T system.

The remaining work is "the effect of side chain engineering on the photoelectric properties of P4T series polymer donor materials", that is, to compare the photoelectric properties of P4T materials with four different side chains.

Because this is the follow-up work of the article that was submitted to AM, so this work is not urgent, and the article can be written slowly.

However, the experimental part still has to be completed before the school holidays in January.

Otherwise, if a key experiment is missed and you want to supplement it, you have to wait until the start of school in March.

And now it's early December.

There is only one month left, and the time is still a little tight.

Sure enough, once entering scientific research, it is impossible to be lazy, and there is never enough work to do.

Come on.

At the group meeting, Xu Qiu played the same role as the audience in the previous weeks.

At present, there are many points in the research group. In addition to thermoelectricity, three of the four research fields have been revitalized.

Articles were posted frequently, Teacher Wei's complexion has improved now, and his temper has calmed down a lot. It is rare to see him aggressive again.

Xu Qiu remembered that when he first came to the laboratory, Teacher Wei would go to the hospital every Friday, but now it has become every other week.

Could it be that the change of people's mood can also treat cervical spondylosis?

The experiments of Wu Feifei and Tian Qing's new jobs are coming to an end.

The sister's article is almost finished.

Duan Yun is still the same, calm and calm.

Xu Qiu was a little anxious for him. He has already completed his second Ph. D., and there is only one review. Will he be able to graduate smoothly?

The junior girl's speech ability has improved, and she is not as nervous as the first time, perhaps because she has become familiar with the rest of the research group.

It is easier to relax when speaking in front of acquaintances than in front of strangers.

...

After the group meeting, Xu Qiu arranged Han Jiaying's work for the day and helped him prepare the devices.

The main reason is to consider that the school girl also has her own project now, so it would be better to arrange some experiments for her that can be completed simultaneously.

In this way, she can also be a device of her own system at the same time.

It can not only obtain the data that Xu Qiu wanted, but also keep the junior girl's work efficiency from being greatly reduced.

As for himself, he intends to summarize the experimental data obtained before.

First select the available raw data, then convert the raw data into pictures that can be published, and then look at the pictures to talk, build the framework of the article, and draw the outline of the story.

The main software used are CHEMDRAW, ORIGIN, and PPT. The former two are used to draw molecular structures and data pictures respectively, while the latter is used to organize experimental data and also take into account the drawing function.

For example, device structure diagrams, as well as other plane and three-dimensional schematic diagrams, can be directly drawn with template patterns such as rectangles, rounded rectangles, and ellipses that come with PPT, and then polished by means of transformation, filling, and gradient.

Xu Qiu suddenly thought that some cartoon diagrams, mechanism diagrams, TOCs, etc. can also be customized by Tian Qing, and then give her a name in the article.

Make good use of the existing resources in the research group.

But for now, let’s forget about this article. For a small article of this level, the pictures should be well-behaved.

After reading a lot of literature, Xu Qiu found that the pictures in the journals of the second district, the first district, and even the top journals such as AM are relatively templated.

Except for the exaggerated covers of some journals, the pictures in the text are usually simple graphs or original images taken by electron microscopy.

And like the articles in "Nature", many pictures are carefully beautified, and occasionally some illustrations are used to assist in describing scientific phenomena.

The reason, he thinks, may be that the audience of the article is different.

Journals in professional fields such as "Advanced Materials" AM have indicated that the journals are related to the field of materials, and those who can see the articles are basically insiders.

Therefore, there is no need to play fake games, just show them the data directly.

For example, Xu Qiu, he glanced at a few pictures in other people's articles, and he roughly understood what this person did and what innovations he had.

If it's too fancy, he will at most take a look at it, but it won't improve the score of this article in his heart.

However, a high-impact comprehensive journal like "Nature" is open to all fields, so most of the people who read the articles are not professionals in related fields.

Showing them the dry data directly not only looks boring, but also makes them incomprehensible.

At this time, it is necessary to package it, use some illustrations to assist expression, and at the same time make the pictures look better to attract people's interest in reading.

Maybe, because of this, it attracted the attention of a bigwig in another field.

Wouldn't it be great for several parties to make a cooperation plan at once?

...

Data curation is a very bald job.

Some data is available, some data is not available, and these are confirmed.

But the world is not black and white, and data is not only available or unavailable.

There are also some ambiguous data:

For example, there are four curves in a group of light absorption spectra, one of which has a small absorption peak that is slightly different from the other three groups.

This may be a unique experimental phenomenon, or it may simply be due to sample preparation.

While this detail may be insignificant, it is ultimately a minor flaw.

At this time, it is necessary to judge:

In the end is to redo the whole thing again, to verify what is the reason?

Or just use it?

Or even use the Smooth function to erase the difference?

In the end, Xu Qiu decided to redo all the data that could not be used directly.

It felt so good to make such a decision at the time, and I finally didn't have to worry about it.

But soon, new problems arose.

He found that among the four systems, the data for P4T-2OD were complete.

This is also a matter of course, because AM's work is P4T-2OD, and it cannot be submitted if it is incomplete.

But the data of the other three systems are stretched.

The data is complete, and the characterization without retesting is only GPC, NMR, TEM, and AFM.

This is barely good news. These test signs are all tested on the public platform of the school, which is relatively troublesome.

However, there are more characterizations that require supplementary experiments, including: UV-vis, PL, CV, GIWAXS, CELIV, TOF, SCLC, EQE, SEM, device J-V curves and repeatability tests.

Some have not been tested by the three systems, some have only been tested in part of the three systems and are incomplete, and some have been tested but were discarded by Xu Qiu.

After finishing the statistics, he suddenly felt like letting go.

However, this thought only lasted for a few seconds, and Xu Qiu put it behind him.

As Teacher Wei often said before, you should be stricter with yourself.

Besides, I still have school girls to help, so it's not a big problem.

At this time, Han Jiaying, who was doing experiments in the laboratory, suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing, and couldn't help shivering.

"Winter is coming, let's wear more clothes tomorrow." She muttered softly.
