Benchtop SEM and Sputtercoater
If asked what we’ll be imaging the most with this instrument, the answer will be nanopipets. Our group has demonstrated a vast range of applications for nanopipets e.g., SICM and SECCM imaging, sensing, electrodeposition, local nanoliter sampling, electrospray ionization, etc. For these applications, it is important to clearly characterize nanopipet geometry including the opening radius…

One-Year Anniversary
In January of 2022, after 16 great years at Indiana University, the bakergrp loaded a semi full of our gear and headed south to the Brazos Valley, relocating to Lane’s alma mater, Texas A&M University. Brian, Kristen, Sasha, Krista, Cody, Yunong and Lingjie made the trek south to Texas. Natasha and Ben stayed in Bloomington…

Our New COMSOL Simulation Horsepower
For electrochemists doing research with scanning probe techniques, COMSOL modeling plays a significant role in instructing experiment design, estimating imaging results affected by pipette geometric, and validating electrochemical phenomena observed. Recently, Baker group has purchased a new server for more efficient COMSOL simulation. The Dell PowerEdge server is specified with 24-core AMD EYPC processor, and…
