Half of the Lab # 208, the only lab used by Dr Liu's group when I joined in 2003. Other half of the Lab # 208 Setting frame for my hood in Lab # 214 which we got in 2004. Other part of Lab #214. Almost Empty when we got it and you should look at it now. The last part is the grad students cubicles.
 This one has a better look of the cubicles.
 Anyways, Frame is ready, now turn of chemicals. There you go, systhesis is started now The hood is not always clean like in the pic above. There are times when I become lazy.
Time to put some precursors in the synthesis running in Lab # 208.
 Particles are ready, now its time to separate them in centrifuge. First find out the particle size range by nanotrac (ya ya I know, we'll do TEM and XRD also).
 Time to anneal the particles in our dear furnace. O furnace !!! what would we do without you? In 2003 we had to manage with Old furnace (with no controller !!!) when the new Lindburg one was not there in the lab. Let's anneal some samples in RTP (Rapid thermal processing) at the same time.
 Here they are, nanoparticles on Si sustrate converted into films after annealing.
Lets do AGM measurements of these samples and find out their properties.
If AGM is not enough and the coercivity is too high, we'll have to use SQUID. Glovebox in the lab. I hardly had to use it since I was working with FePt. Lucky me !!! Thanks Dear Pt for your strong chemical stability.
Sputter in the lab. Used most of the time by outsiders, OOPS I mean colloborators. The PC Dr Liu got for me when I joined the Lab in 2003.
