Equipment: AFM Bruker Dimension Edge Responsible research: Dr. Francisco Flores Day: 2 Today, I observed how a point for AFM is changed: We need to choose it depending on the material and the measurement we want to perform. For example, today's sample is gold nanoparticles over a glass substrate. Then, we tried the TAP300Al-G, a probe from BudgetSensors. This probe is designed for AFM in Tapping mode and is coated with reflective aluminum. From the company BudgetSensor, we can discover the function of the tip models: No coating: is designed for topography purposes Backside aluminum coating: is designed…

Then, I had the opportunity to enter this fascinating world of thinkers, conquerors, and discoverers. But how do we share science? There are two ways. One is peer-reviewed papers, where you report to the science community on your research. This way, the schedule is important. In my experience, one year of research is resumed in a manuscript…
