AFM -STM-completed

Report due after you receive AFM materail from the labwork and after you complete absorption / scattering mrasurements...

~8-10page report, this semester with size determination from absorption/ emission and/ or scattering.

The detailed instructions will be given during the experiment.

 Abstract, Introduction to AFM, Results (describe work done in the lab)

Describe: (1) AFM   training and techniques you did in the AFM lab,  (2)  measurements of quantum dots (nanocrystals) CdSe, (3)  litography (4) Results of comparison between the AFM and optical (absorption and fluorescense) results

We will build consensus in the class about important points to be included in the report.

Results and discussion - quantum dots (nanocrystals) CdSe and litography
