Multimodal datasets of materials are rich sources of information which can be leveraged for expedited discovery of process-structure-property relationships and for designing materials with specific structures and/or properties. Here, we provide a multimodal dataset of magnetron sputter-deposited molybdenum (Mo) thin films, which are used in a variety of industries including high temperature applications, photovoltaics, and microelectronics. A process space consisting of 27 unique combinations of sputter power and Argon (Ar) deposition pressure was explored. The structure and surface morphology of the Mo thin films was characterized by X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Physical properties – namely, residual stress and resistivity – were also measured to provide additional film characteristics and behaviors. The entire dataset consists of 1377 measurements including scalar values (e.g. residual stress values), 2D linescans (e.g. X-ray diffractograms), and 3D imagery (e.g. atomic force microscopy images).
