- 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

- ItemAutomatic Control of an Inertial Electrostatic Confinement Device(Houghton University, 2023-04-15) Condie, Micah K.; Yuly, Mark E.The Houghton University Farnsworth-Hirsch fusor is an inertial electrostatic confinement device designed for the purpose of studying plasmas, D-D fusion, and as a source of x-rays and neutrons for other experiments. It operates via two concentrically arranged wire spheres with a voltage difference between them of up to 30 kV, ionizing a low-pressure gas to form and confine a plasma. The voltage across the two spheres is measured using a voltage divider circuit allowing the Arduino at the bottom of the chain to measure a lower proportional voltage. The current to the HV grid flows through an LED, floating at high voltage, the light from which is then measured at the end of a fiber optic cable using a phototransistor circuit. The previous fusor remote operating system used LabVIEW and Digi TS4 Port servers to communicate with the high voltage power supply, pressure gauge, and mass-flow controller via ethernet, RS-232, and RS-485. It was redesigned using python to communicate with the instrumentation directly over USB and RS-485. Furthermore, a PID controller was made so that the pressure in the chamber could be adjusted automatically, maintaining the plasma while raising the voltage. The fusor was successfully tested using air as the ionized gas with limited success using the PID controller. Future experiments will correct the automatic system and test the system with hydrogen then deuterium.XLI Annual Rochester Symposium for Physics Students, University of Rochester (Rochester, NY), April 15, 2023
