This week, the last week, my mentor had to make a trip, so I been practicing my presentation with my lab parter. Then I went to the beach for the last time with some friends. I went to the closing ceremony to present, and I...
This week, we been transferring and preparing more samples of graphene and annealing them to test them and follow with our comparisons of their results. Another thing we did is install a humidity sensor in the conductivity set up that we did. The process of install...
We started preparing a solution of 10% phosphoric acid and 90% Deionized water. After that we used this solution to eliminate the aluminum dioxide from the back side of the sample to apply electric current there. The reason why we put the aluminum dioxide is because...
this week we continue with the process of preparing graphene samples to test them. This time we apply silicon dioxide around the samples. We use this dioxide to isolate our graphene sample from the environment. [caption id="attachment_9757" align="alignnone" width="300"] Graphene samples in the oven[/caption] We did this...
This is my 3rd week in my project at UCSD. In this week, we been preparing samples of graphene. The process to get ready a sample of graphene to be tested is a little long because it needs to be submerged in acetone a couple hours...
This week we were learning how to use codes and know their functions. My mentor was explaining how to use them properly. These codes can be used to form a wide variety of functions, like you can use them to control laboratory tools and much more. During...
