| azonenberg_work | Going to be doing some EDS this afternoon in hopes of identifying the contaminant positively | 13:26 |

| SolidRaven | azonenberg, do you know how to calculate how much energy you need to break away exactly one atom from a crystal matrix given a certain wavelength of laser | 18:09 |
| azonenberg_work | SolidRaven: No, I don't | 20:09 |
| azonenberg_work | I think it would be hard to do because you'd need really precise focus | 20:09 |
| azonenberg_work | Probably interference | 20:10 |
| azonenberg_work | And even that wouldnt work for deep submicron | 20:10 |
| azonenberg_work | E-beam has a chance | 20:10 |
| SolidRaven | azonenberg, kerr lens ;) | 20:15 |
| SolidRaven | that allows you to go precise enough in theory | 20:15 |
| azonenberg_work | Not familiar with it | 20:18 |
| azonenberg_work | Re energy, no idea | 20:18 |
| SolidRaven | Well, I figure I need to break up the crystal bonds | 20:35 |
| SolidRaven | I know how to figure out how much energy I need for that | 20:36 |
| SolidRaven | But other sorts of attraction also come into play | 20:36 |
| azonenberg_work | Yeah | 20:48 |
| azonenberg_work | Sorry, not my area of expertise | 20:48 |
| SolidRaven | actually, using a stm you could probably make seminconductors at minimal possible scale | 20:51 |
| SolidRaven | You can use quantum effects all over the place as well with that :S | 20:51 |
| SolidRaven | Would be pretty creepy if that worked | 20:51 |
| SolidRaven | Actually, that'd make a nice subject for a masters degree | 20:52 |
| SolidRaven | atomic scale circuits | 20:52 |
