CHEM 4540L : Physical Chemistry II Lab

Since 2015 Spring CHEM 4540L, several experiments are designed and offered to the students with the list evolves with the research of Chen's group and the other physical chemistry groups. Here shows a list for the 2016 spring class:

Use fluorescent microscope to track single-particle Brownian motion and flow in microfluidic channels;

Measure YOYO1 dye quantum yield using single-molecule fluorescence imaging method with R6G dye reference;

Use AFM to measure DVD disk nanostructures and ultrathin film thickness;

Fabricate and test microfluidic channels and perovskite solar cells;

Make polymers and characterize them using differential scanning calorimetry;

Data analysis for UV-Vis calibration and measurements.
