The e-beam is ready to begin use for creating channels to observe the effects of sidewall confinement on adsorption! Making plans to go to University of Tulsa this week to begin preparing samples so that next week (or the week after depending on scheduling) the e-beam can be used in order to create the channels.
Work to create the nanopillars is still continuing and I am anticipating seeing results after the next etching session which is set tentatively for the week after the fourth of July. It will be easier, I believe, to move on having both of these samples completed. I think this because the step afterwards will be to use liquid cell AFM to observe surfactant on the surface of these substrates and focusing on that area, particularly the use of the AFM and developing my skill with it, and not trying to complete the fabrication of another sample will simplify things. Just happy to know that things are still moving along!
