Week the Fourth

Continued x-ray characterization of ribbons. Doing 1hr runs in both parallel and perpendicular orientations (generally for two sets of 6-10 ribbons) as well as one 16hr run for each composition. So far no samples that look decidedly crystalline, but a few questions. Still something of a mystery why the parallel and perpendicular have such distinctly shaped curves. By the end of next week intend to compile data for each composition.

In the data analysis world, focusing on liquids. Finished a first pass through Cu_55-xZr₄₅Al_x for x = {12, 10, 9}, tracking S(q₁). Still need to wrap up x = 8 and work on 7.
