STM of Au(111)
STM of gold (111) surface showing herringbone reconstruction.
AFM of NaCl(001)
Atomic resolution of NaCl(001) obtained with the Omicron QPlus SPM.
STM of LiFeAs
STM of LiFeAs material demonstrating atomic resolution. Multiple defects in the lattice are imaged. Scattering off of defects allows us to observe the quasiparticle interference pattern (QPI).
Smallest UBC ever written
SPM is capable of atomic-scale imaging, and the manipulation of atoms/molecules on the surface. Using a sharp probe, carbon monoxide (CO) molecules were picked up and arranged to spell “UBC” on copper (111).
CuPc on Ag(111)
Copper (II) phthalocyanines are just one of the organic molecules that we look at. They are relatively planar, π-conjugated molecules, with interesting optical electronic and magnetic properties. There are a whole class of phthalocyanines with other metal centres that can change the behaviour of the molecules.
Pasta Party 2018 (chez Sarah)
Masterchef Sarah cookin’ the pasta! From right to left, Graham, Seokhwan, Giang, Tim, Ali, Tim, Aaron, and little Elliot patiently waiting for pasta. Jisun’s excited for food. Tim and Erik trying out the different pasta sauces, getting ready to vote for their favourite. “Are you taking a picture??” -James “Who […]
Ethiopian Tuesday

Korean Food Adventures
Yummy! 한국음식 존맛!
Myyystery Lake
Ooooooo… mysterrrrious… Look at this happy bunch! “Just pose naturally.” – Miriam Wizard Tim floats James mid-air. I’m running out of captions. Think of something yourselves.
