Week+of+6-20+to+6-24

6-20-11 Today I just observed and learned how to use the STM software with Guido. 6-21-11 Guido and I scanned Octanethiol on Au(III) and I learned more about how to use the STM and about cutting the tip which is made of Platinum Iridium. I began helping more with the scanning instead of just watching Guido do it. 6-22-11 We once more scanned with Octanethiol on Au(III) and I helped out even more than the previous day. 6-23-11 We scanned octanethiol on Au(III) and I did most of the scanning and most of the tip cutting. 6-24-11 We did not go in today at all becuse Natalie went home to visit her family for the weekend.
