PVD: Gold Nucleation Analysis Lab

This 2-page lab guide, created by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University, features an online laboratory on gold nucleation analysis that "investigates surface mobility properties and analyze surface nucleation as a result of heat treatment." During the lab, students watch videos on the processing, annealing, and analysis of physical vapor deposition (PVD) gold thin films. Included are 12 student questions to be completed after watching the videos.
