September+7th+and+8th

September 7th:

-First day back in the lab since the summer. -As a baseline, Natalie suggested scanning clean graphite on the portable AFM -In a couple weeks, we will be exposing the samples again to the alpha-particle source -Later this fall, there will also be a beta-particle source in lab, allowing for even more diversity in scanning -The portable AFM was moved out of the office part of the lab into the main area. This is due to a lack of space. However, with the vibration isolation table, it doesn't matter too much



September 8th:

-Scanning clean graphite puck on portable AFM again
