Summary

  • Understanding Nanopores is useful
  • Goal: Neutron Reflectometry
  • Optimize Channel Insertion
  • FOS-14 Detergent
  • Repeatability
  • No increased nanopore insertion

Difficulties with the System

With FOS-14 Detergent Without FOS-14 Detergent

Conclusions

  • Detergent does not inhibit nanopore formation
  • Detergent decreases variability in measurements
  • Detergent does not increase max channel formation
  • Although detergent does not increase the total channel

formation it may be useful for increasing repeatability of measurements
