Tian Yuan's visit to Rice University†
Internship at Kono lab [Last update by Tian March 5th]†
- March 5th,
- Project starts on the SHG, Andrey send in paper and results for me to read. I am learning what they are doing. If possible I want to have a discussion on this matter with Nguyen-san and Saito-sensei.
- March 4th,
- Discussed with Kono-sensei, Andrey and Manu, i can pick following researches.
- Second/higher order harmonic generation of molecule-inserted (6,5) SWCNT, enantinomer enriched. The data is enough that I can write a paper once I understand the story, IF im desparate to write a paper. Second harmonic generation molecule-inserted (6,5) SWCNTs.
- What is your contribution on this paper? Nguyen-san can calculate second harmonic generation (SHG). What is the molecule?
- "You will write the paper"-Said Andrey. I don't recall them metioning specific molecules. I will ask Andrey and Kono-sensei.
- (11,10) intersubband plasmon, intersubband magneto-plasmon and ISB plasmon polarton in a cavity.
- Did you explain your calculation?
- They know that we have calculation results but I didnt find the chance to explain my calculation, I have the data for detailed result and I will print it before Monday and send it to them with the explainations.
- CD in aligned (11,-5) film
- We have the calculated data of (6,5) and (11,-5), Do they doped CNTs?
- They didn't metioned it. I faintly recall them talking that if there is already paper published on CD of undopted CNTs they will try the doped ones.
- Detection of spin current via terahetz excitation. The terahetz device haven't been used for very long time and it can take half a year jsut to set up the devices.
- If you can start to set up, it won't take too much time. It should be a good practice for you. But you need any supervisor to set up since the set up is very expensive one. Ask Kono sensei.
- Andrey stongly discourage me to do this research as he believe it will produce no results in this half year, then I told them I have a layout(from Mizukami-sensei). They asked me for the deatiled information. I will send the paper and presentation to them.
- March 3rd,
- Procedures to get the ID card, Join the Kono workgroup on Slack, prepare for the discussion tomorrow afternoon.
- March 2nd,
- Morning, visiting banks try to open bank account and obtain money.
- In the afternoon visit Rice U and the physcis building, meet with Kono-sensei and Xu-san,procedures to get the ID card.
- Tian arrived at March 1st, 4 pm and spend the rest of the day battling paying the apartment
Internship at Mizukami lab†
- The experiment with Iihama-sensei on 2/8:
- By using the kretschmann configuration, we try to use measure the spin current generated by the surface plasmon on a gold --> continue the experiment on Wednesday.
- Fourth day's discussion with Iihama-sensei:
- Second measurement of Py-Pt layer
- Explain an calculate the Inverse Faraday effect with Iihama-sensei have problem.
- Third day's discussion with Iihama-sensei:
- By using the magneto Kerr effect, we are measuring the spin injection of a Py-Pt layer
- Explaining what is surface plasmon and the ways to excite surface plasmon
- Second day's discussion with Iihama-sensei:
- Introduction of the experiment layout,
- The detection of Spin Current by Inverse Kerr Effect.
- Experiment starts tomorrow.
- First day's discussion with Iihama-sensei:
- Methods to excite edge plasmon,
- Inverse Faraday Effect,
- Interaction of circularly polarized light with material: spin transfer torque and field induced torque?
