May 14, 200421 yr Last one has ended 2 weeks ago. I will be writing report this weekend and post it after its been qualified.Right now im in deep.I went to the Raman Spectroscopy Lab and was thrown on deep water. I can do 3 projects simultaniously (or concentrate on 1):1. Magnetic conductivity and Hall efect + raman spetroscopy on the GaP (gal and phosphorus) with p-conductivity and Mn-additions into crystalline structure sample. We will be using extremely low temperatures (<4K - liquid nitrogen and helium come inhandy) in order to make the solenoid go superconductive. I can/will be little more that observer to this experiment. I already started this today. We were pumping nitrogen and helium above the sample and the solenoid. It go treally cold in the room. Then, when we thought everything was going well, we ran out of helium. We will continue on monday.2. The same as above, but this time GaN (i dont know if there will be any additions). I can have more impact on this project. I could call it team project (2-3 person including me). But it could be hard for me, for i am not that educated yet.3. The last one is the project i could do solo (i mean i am in control of the project - the professor will be overlooking me - thats neccesary) - i run the machinery and i write the report myself. The topic is (translation can be hard): "differences between crystalline silicon carbide (SiC) and a SiC nanotube (diameter = 10ths of nanometres) of unknown crystalline structure using the raman spectroscopy".I must say the 3rd one looks most promising. Not to mention i could lay my hands on the electron microscope (DROOLS). First will be ending next week, with 3rd starting immediately thereafter. 2nd will be pain-in-the-butt intersection.Which one would you pick?
May 14, 200421 yr Do the one yourself and learn the most by doing it yourself and maybe making some mistakes.Best way to learn. Be humble, go on, persevere.
May 14, 200421 yr I should go fore 3, that way you got more impact on the research, and in case of something nice that is revealed, you got your name on it What is always good fore your future.
May 14, 200421 yr Author You could be right, Mac. With 3rd one i can do less damage. First two ones require use of liquid niotrogen and helium. Small mishap and BOOM. Also the superconductor is not totally safe. It produces HELL of a magnetic field. I could lose glasses, my bus magnetic card could be erased and if i eaten anything metallic in the last few days (like nails), i could end up with a hole in stomach area.
May 14, 200421 yr wow..kywalker you have THE most interesting job i have ever heard of...what the heck do you do?
May 14, 200421 yr Author Me? Im a student of physics. My avatar is the logo of my institute: Faculty of Physics, Warsaw University of Technology. http://www.if.pw.edu.pl/sub/english/index.html
May 14, 200421 yr Why do u ask us here about this. Me besides history i know nutting. U talk gibrish to me . Hmm.... lets see ini mini minie moe.... 3
May 14, 200421 yr It may be hard to understand but it sounds cool. Sad i dont have the head fore it but i used become a science or physics dude. I ended up with Psychology
May 15, 200421 yr Go with the third KY from reading your first post i would think that you will get more out of the third project
May 16, 200421 yr do the onE THAT COULD CAuse the most damage IMHO, his posts on TA Forums are causing the most damages... to some of the members His physics projects are not that dangerous... Besides, who cares about Europe? :wink: He can blow it up
May 16, 200421 yr Author Or i can go to one of the wonderfull american PAC (particle accelerators) facilities.... or fusion plans, or nuclear plants. Guess then what????
May 17, 200421 yr Or i can go to one of the wonderfull american PAC (particle accelerators) facilities.... or fusion plans, or nuclear plants. Guess then what???? U will fix it, i presume
May 20, 200421 yr Author I walked into Raman Spectroscopy lab on monday and immeidately they shouted at me to leave cell phone and credit cards at the entrance. I did, but didnt know why yet. As i walked further i saw that monitor was behaving funny. The picture looked kinda normal except that at the edges it curved greately. It looked like a big mess of colors at the edges of the screen. I started to understand the phone-and-card precautions and my thoughts were confirmed when i saw the magnetic field gauge. It showed 4T [Tesla]. FOUR TESLAS!. The superconductor was giving all that. I hadnt had time to confirm, but they told me that at 7T the monitor was useless. Now i understand why all the cables are heavy shielded.
