  • DPN experiments with Raul. He suggested to use different type of thiol: 11-mercapto-1-undecanol. He brought a solution of the chemical in the mixture of acetonitrile and ethanol. The rease he added ethanol was to increase solubility.
  • Learned difference among: undersaturated, saturated and supersaturated solutions.
  • Au substrates used were prepared on Feb 19. Concerned that it might not work, but pattern was successfully made. Three dots were patterned, and the dots by 11-mercapto... has more blurred edge than dots by MHA.
