Notes
Technical notes
Practical write-ups on characterization techniques from the Nano Lab team.
Performing FIB on Extremely Rough Surfaces
Why rough surfaces make FIB cross-sections hard, and two ways to get a clean sidewall anyway.
An Introduction to Advanced Material Identification Techniques
EDS, FTIR, Raman, and XRD compared: what each one measures, where each falls short, and which to run first on an unknown.
Advancements in Imaging for Nanobiology
How cryo-EM, cryo-FIB, low-vacuum SEM, and AFM in liquid made soft and hydrated samples practical to image at the nanoscale.
