Topics in Quantum Mechanics by David Tong by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-18 Updated 2026-11-05
David Tong's University of Cambridge lecture notes: www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/tong/aqm/topicsinqm.pdf. Section 3.1.3, printed pp. 71–75, develops the magnetic-moment argument for atomic spin-orbit coupling and its Thomas precession correction.
The laboratory explains how conventional radiocarbon ages, historical half-life conventions and time-varying atmospheric ratios relate to calendar dating.
The KDK experiment by KDK collaboration (2021) by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-18 Updated 2026-11-05
Its potassium-40 decay scheme gives the approximate atomic mass-energy differences of MeV to calcium-40 and MeV to argon-40, and distinguishes capture to an excited argon level from the rare positron branch. The positron kinetic-energy endpoint additionally subtracts from the atomic mass difference.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
    Figure 5. . You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally.
