[[BenNanoJapan (Open)]] This is Ben's logbook for Nano Japan project from 2014.6.9-2014.7.31. #contents * Daily schedule [#daily] - 09:00-10:00 Discussion (1) - 10:00-12:00 Solve the problem and write the progress on pukiwiki - 12:00-13:30 Lunch - 13:30-14:30 Discussion (2) - 14:30-16:30 Solve the problem and write the progress on pukiwiki - 16:30-17:30 e-mail report and problems * Goal of the project. [#goal] - To describe the coupling between plasmons in graphene and EM waves. The result of this coupling is a wave called a surface plasmon polariton (SPP). - Keywords: Surface plasmon, graphene, coupling, surface plasmon polariton. * Schedule for Discussion [#discussion] * Questions and Answers [#QA] - This section is for posting questions from Ben-san and answers from other group members. - Please list here with some simple reasons or details. - For every problem, give a tag double asterisks (**) in the code so that it will appear in the table of contents. - For the answer, give a tag triple asterisks (***) in the code below the problem in order to make a proper alignment. - List from new to old. * Report [#report] ** June 9 [#d426147a] - Thomas-san picked me up from Urban Castle Kawauchi (UCK). He showed me how to get to the lab, and the location of the bus stop. - I was introduced to the other lab members, Saito-sensei, and the secretaries. - Saito-sensei, Hasdeo-san, and Thomas-san set up a computer for me to use in the guest office. - Hasdeo-san and Thomas-san helped me set up an account on Xming and helped me get a Thunderbird email account.
