Waiting for Data.

 

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.

This is where the magic happens. The round black disk is my sample.
The main board.

  1. 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!

  2. Hey Daniel! Did you get to try to put anything back together?! That would’ve been a really nice experience to have, too!

  3. 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?
