October+12-13

October 12th: -new sample -Au (III) with 8thiol exposed to beta source for 1 hour -scanning exposed side

10-12-11AA

standard settings/original settings: -Portable STM -Setpoint: 1 nA -P-gain: 10000 -I-gain: 1000 -tip voltage: 50 mV

-scope took over 1 hour to approach -finally approached with settings at: -3 nA -P-gain: 10000 -I-gain: 1000 -tip voltage 200mV



October 13th: -same sample as yesterday- Au(III) with 8thiol(exposed to beta source for 1 hour) -scanning exposed side

-for some reason, the wiki will not let me upload the images from this day 'error during upload- please try again'

-portable STM -Setpoint: 1 nA -P-gain: 10000 -I-gain: 1000 -tip voltage: 50 mV

10-13-11AA

10-13-11AB -original image failed- backed off and approached again; took about 15 minutes to approach -changed tip wire before taking image -when i finally got the image, it was good quality, with minimal drift

10-13-11AC -moved from AB -75.8 nm left and 75 nm down
