This week the lab has been under maintenance routines. I learned how to transfer the liquid helium from the Dewar to the probe tank of the Magnetic Properties Measurement System.
Also, how to load a resistivity sample puck, Macy explained the maintenance routine for the glove box and how to change a filter.

Finally, I witness how to take apart the X-ray diffractometer. Cool eh! I remember taking everything apart when I was a child. Hopefully, I will be able to obtain my data before Monday, since I’m still waiting to analyze a a sample.


Glad to see that you are learning and enjoying your experience in a lab.
Great to see your progress. I wonder if you felt nervous as you waited for data! I hope it doesn’t affect your poster and presentation. Good luck!
Hey Daniel! Did you get to try to put anything back together?! That would’ve been a really nice experience to have, too!
This is some great work, Daniel! I’m in the same boat with data collection. Do you think you’ll get everything you need before the symposium?
