Electrochemistry internship at University of Houston Week 4

This week I’ve been using the evaporator to create silver films of 100 to 5 nanometers in increments of 10. My latest slide is 40 nm, it takes about five hours to create one slide. The pumps take a long time to pump out all the air to create a vacuum. I’ve also been using […]
