Purcell Cards (Order of Magnitude Physics)
Ed Purcell developed a set of constants/numbers that one could use to estimate physical quantities quickly. These notes could fit on a postcard and could be used for “back of the envelope” calculations. I obtained a copy of these notes from my Caltech PHY 103b Order of Magnitude class from…

First Neon Film in prototype Single Atom Microscope
The prototype Single Atom Microscope has been assembled and has passed two critical test. It has been reassuring to pass these two tests because we made several design choices to optimize the optical access in order to the maximize the light collection efficiency from individual emitters embedded in the solid neon.…

Laser Scanning of Yb Atomic Beam Fluorescence
The Single Atom Microscope team, led by Kristen and Roy, is taking large steps towards a proper calibration of Yb atom number density in solid Neon. Most recently, the atomic beam fluorescence measurements have incorporated laser frequency scanning. At a stable atomic oven temperature, these measurements are used to determine…
