Literature reports 1A Choose a recent nano article that you understand from Nanoletters or ACS NANO or Nanoscale Advances.
Focus primarily on a figure or two in the paper and be familiar with the experimental section. Be sure to check for supplementary information (movies and the experimental section may be located there). By end of Wednesday email to claim a paper by including a link to the abstract. Papers that have been selected will be posted here.
On Friday, present the figure(s) in a short oral report and answer questions about the experimental details. Test questions in this course will be drawn from these student selected papers, so for the rest of the class your presentation is a practice test.

Lab: Continue Nickel Nanowires on the same page as your earlier work for this experiment but include a new date. Every group will extract nanowires from the disc. Some groups will prepare an XRD sample and obtain the free nanowire XRD. Others will perform visible microscopy or prepare a labeled SEM sample.
All groups will share some characterization data. Measure lengths in SEM images using ImageJ. Your notebook should indicate where you measured.
