A scientist is continuously seeking the truth of nature. There is a jungle of fields to explore from material science to the universe, a scientist could be doing experiments at the laboratory, or maybe they just need a comfortable place to think and create new theories which will explain new phenomena. Training day: XRD System and software High Score Plus, BUAP Today I was able to explore the XRD system at IFUAP (shown in the above picture). The purpose of this visit was to analyze a previous measured XRD pattern. Gratefully the responsible researcher allows me to manipulate the software…

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…
