My Projects in the Zach Group
Modification of a nanostructured hydrogen sensor

Atomic force microscopy (AFM)
I have imaged nanowires, metallic thin films, hydrogen sensors, various substrates, and HOPG (graphite) step edges on our newly acquired Ambios Q-Scope AFM.

SiO2 nanowires
AFM image of silicon dioxide nanowires prepared by chemical vapor deposition on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG)

Other projects
Writing quick-start instructions for the AFM and thermal evaporator
Metal thin film deposition by thermal evaporation
Building simple automation programs in LabView
