Fun with the SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope)
So I've been pretty busy writing and grading papers (but mostly writing)! It's a busy time of year and so much is going on this semester. I've got some camping trips planned and also AAPA meetings are coming up in April. I am also extremely excited for the Scotland study abroad!! Until then...
"Our primary focus is characterizing the electronic, photonic, and composition microstructure of photovoltaics. However, the same setup can do other semiconductor materials and other areas like medical. Our primary system is a SEM (Scanning electron microscope) with cathodoluminescence (CL), electron beam induced current (EBIC), and EDS capabilities. The goal is to correlate the luminescence (CL) and electrical (EBIC) properties with the composition and morphology of the microstructure. The CL is equipped with spectrometers able to quantify intensity and wavelength of the luminescence from 300-1800 nm. We also have a high end photoluminescence (PL) system with the same spectroscopic package."
I'm hoping to work with our SEM lab in the summer taking more images of bone samples. If you're wanting to contact the lab, you can email Dr. Torabi at atorabi (at) tamuct (dot) edu or Dr. Harvey at tharvey (at) tamuct (dot) edu. Check back in soon!
