Energy Harvesting

As the title states, I have been making TEM images and reconstructions from a variety of NPN materials. I hope to correlate the underlying nanostructure with SERS activity eventually. These images show many different porosities, topographies and pore shapes. Wafer 1236 has been the bulk majority of my npMgF2 fabrication for my SERS experiments.  …

In my previous post of Morphology evolution in pnc-Si membrane (2), see https://trace-bmps.org/datablog/?p=14769&preview=true , I showed that membranes (30SiN-25Si-30SiN) annealed at 700C show us an intermediate morphology in the pnc-Si membrane. I did some further investigation in the past week on this intermediate morphology. Compared with the previous test which membrane was annealed at 700C…

Here is the most up to date figure that I’ve made to compare the simulated and experimental separation results.  I went back through the x-ray crystals and remeasured the longest distances in the molecules.  I used the radii to rerun the simulations and plotted them against protein and rhodamine diffusion data.  Here are the results:…

I set out to do an in depth study of adsorption to various surfaces using the sample buffer method. Midway through staining the multiple gels I noticed there was a problem. It looked as though glass and polystyrene adsorbed about the same amount of BSA as did pnc-Si. Details of the setup follow. Preparation: Using…

The last couple of posts showed that homemade HBSS does not cause discoloration, even though commercial HBSS does.  I wanted to test if there was something mysteriously special about this solution, so I looked at non-RTP’ed wafer 622 in the incubator in solutions with and without serum (10% FBS).  Even without serum, the cell media…
