- ItemA Parity Violation Transmission Experiment for Undergraduate Laboratories(Houghton University, 2024-04-20) Kennel, Levi; Yuly, MarkBecause there are currently no published weak interaction parity violation experiments specifically for undergraduate laboratories, a simple parity violation experiment is being developed using circularly polarized gamma rays. A 60Co source will be placed on one side of an electromagnet, so that the circularly polarized gamma rays emitted opposite the beta particles will pass through the electromagnet core. A NaI detector detects the number of gamma rays that pass through the electromagnet, and a silicon detector detects beta particles opposite the gamma rays. The number of coincidence events will be measured when the electromagnet is polarized both parallel and antiparallel to the gamma rays – an asymmetry between the number of coincidence events for each orientation would show that parity is violated.XLII Annual Rochester Symposium for Physics Students, University of Rochester, April 20, 2024

- ItemAn Ambient Air Scanning Tunneling Microscope to Study the Surface of Thin Metal Films(Houghton University, 2023-04-15) Wilson, Joshua C.; Hoffman, BrandonAn ambient-air scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is being built at Houghton University to study the crystal growth and transformation of thin metal films. The STM operates by maintaining a constant current between a piezo-electrically controlled scanning probe and the thin metal film sample while recording the height of the probe relative to the sample stage. This current is produced when electrons from the sample quantum tunnel through the ~10-10 m air gap to the probe, aided by a small bias voltage of ~-1 V applied to the sample; in order to achieve a tunneling gap of this size, the STM utilizes stepper motors to perform a rough approach of the probe to the sample. The STM is suspended on a dual-stage vibration isolation system which utilizes springs with eddy current damping to protect the STM from background noise. The STM is controlled by a user interface via the Processing IDE software and a Teensy 4.1 microcontroller via the Arduino IDE, along with a control circuit. The data collected by the STM are used to create an intensity plot that will act as an atomic resolution “image” of the film surface. All hardware, electronics, and programs have been completely and successfully tested.XLI Annual Rochester Symposium for Physics Students, University of Rochester (Rochester, NY), April 15, 2023
