Day 9

In the morning I started researching for online tools that would enable us to create an intensity plot based off the data matrices we had made yesterday. After lunch, Dr. Hornak used photoshop to make the plots larger and clearer. Then we compared the plots to ones that Dr. Hornak had created a few years ago. We noticed that our graphs looked different so we started brainstorming errors that could have occurred that would have affected the data. Upon examining the EPR machine we noted that the sample pipet was twisted slightly, affecting the distance the DPPH sample was from the RF probe which in turn affected our results. After learning this we went and recollected the data we had taken yesterday.
