new version of the diffusion chamber
ByJimSince Paul sent an email saying he will be on leave from this week, I spent some time in the hopeman metal workshop with Paul working on our second diffusion chamber before he leaves. We actually failed four substrates before we made it. Here is the enhanced version. First, we made the hole through the…
Temperature series w/ 20 nm & 40 nm oxide
Last week, a RTP temperature series was performed on 15 nm Si membranes with 20 nm and 40 nm oxide layers. The purpose of this study was to 1. evaluate the effect of a thicker oxide on pinhole density and 2. identify a dependence of morphology on oxide thickness. Below are two graphs summarizing the…
Thin (5 nm) Au layer TEM imaging on 1148 NPN/npMgF2
Intro Understanding how the Au film coats the inner part of the npMgF2 is essential to understanding how the photonic properties of the npAu/npMgF2 sensor arise. From SEM, we are able to resolve little cones of Au, but unable to see how rough/homogeneous/open the Au layer is. Our hypothesis is that these little cones of…
Nanoporous Wallpaper
In my recent tenting posts, the membrane has shown that it can deform and wrap around edges. I wanted to follow up on this phenomenon and see if we could get a contiguous sheet of membrane around a PDMS edge (not completely sharp). If we can get some membranes around a ~90 sidewall, we could have…
Discoloration Study with Bacterial Media
I performed a test study to see the effect of microbial media’s : LB and BHI Broth on the membrane to check for discoloration. LB Broth : Lysogeny broth,Luria broth or Luria-Bertani broth. Obtained from Sigma and made by dissolving 20g in 1 l of D.H2O and autoclaving at 121C for 15 mins. LB is…
Single Slot Inverted-Chip and Double Slot: Single-Pass Dialysis Devices
Introduction In previous posts by both Alec and Kayli, the urea clearance performance of our bench-top single-pass dialysis devices has been described. Results regarding devices containing untreated, PEG-treated, and nonporous membranes can be found in the “Current Dialysis Research [McGrath Lab, December 2017]”, https://trace-bmps.org/current-dialysis-research-mcgrath-lab-november-2017/ and “Updated Dialysis Research” posts. https://trace-bmps.org/updated-dialysis-research/ The nanomembranes present in these…
