my job is awesomeness Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

So I'm working at the Naval Surface Warfare Center over the summer, and I'm working on a project with a graduate student doing his master's thesis (plus a doctor who's also working on the project). I'm studying the semiconductor zinc oxide in a thin film on top of sapphire. The graduate student has already made a bunch of sample and annealed them at various temperatures and lengths of time, and my job is to characterize them (specifically, how much the elements drifted or evaporated off). Then we're bombarding the samples with ions (I forget whether they're alpha particles or hydrogen ions) to make some of the oxygen atoms in the zinc oxide turn into nitrogen, doping the semiconductor very nicely (in theory). Today we didn't do much, since we need to get the accelerator working, but tomorrow will be funness.

You're an experimental condensed matter physicist.

Your life will be filled with the exact same routine for the next 15 years.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Kuciwalker sounds like he's trying to convince himself. Or boast to us. Either way he's a total parphole!

Except that this is just for the summer.

I have no plans on actually doing this, hell, doing physics, as a career.
