Data underpinning article "Hydrothermal Synthesis of Iridium-Substituted NaTaO3 Perovskites" by David L. Burnett, Christopher D. Vincent, Jasmine A. Clayton, Reza J. Kashtiban and Richard I. Walton All data are ascii format and are labelled according to the figures in the paper. Figure 1: Powder XRD data. Two-columns: diffraction angle (two-theta) and intensity. Figure 5: X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Two columns: energy and normalised absorption. Figure 7: UV-Vis spectra. Two columns: Incident energy and normalised absorption. Figure 8: Powder XRD data. Single x column and multiple y columns: diffraction angle (two-theta) and intensity with increasing temperature in 50 oC intervals (30,50,100...900).
