Mathias Doerr coauthored a magnetostriction measurement system using Fibre Bragg gratings as optical strain gauges. The apparatus measured small samples in pulsed magnetic fields, resolving strain of order with a -kHz bandwidth at low temperatures.[ref]

A researcher whose team used fiber Bragg gratings to measure magnetostriction of small single-crystal specimens. Bonding the fiber sensor to a sample transfers its strain into an optical wavelength shift. The apparatus makes structural responses accessible under short, strong magnetic field pulses and cryogenic conditions.[ref]
A researcher whose joint work demonstrated fiber Bragg grating measurements of magnetostriction. The optical gauge records how a specimen’s dimensions change in a pulsed magnetic field. The experiment must resolve the rapid response during the pulse, rather than assuming a slowly varying field and a static length measurement.[ref]
High resolution magnetostriction measurements in pulsed magnetic fields using Fibre Bragg Gratings by Ramzy Daou and others. Abstract and fast-readout implementation: optical strain measurements during magnetic-field pulses
A researcher whose team developed an optical method for measuring magnetostriction in pulsed magnetic fields. A fiber Bragg grating attached to a small specimen changes its reflected wavelength as the specimen strains. Fast optical readout tracks tiny length changes during the short field pulse, including at cryogenic temperatures. The method connects mechanical deformation with the magnetic response of a material without requiring electrical strain readout beside the specimen.[ref]

A physical scientist who helped develop X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Measuring the energies of electrons emitted after X-ray absorption probes electronic binding and chemical environment. His research extended from laboratory sources to synchrotron radiation, linking improved light sources with more detailed studies of atoms, molecules and solid materials.[ref]

D. N. Lyon coauthored an account of William Francis Giauque's scientific work with K. S. Pitzer and D. A. Shirley. The account connects low-temperature measurements, calorimetry and adiabatic demagnetization with tests of thermodynamic theory.

Olivier Darrigol authored a historical study of Georges Sagnac's work in optics. It connects the Sagnac effect and interferometry with Sagnac's wider investigations of light propagation, X-rays and radioactivity, examining how optical ideas shaped those investigations.[ref]
Georges Sagnac: A life for optics by Olivier Darrigol. Comptes Rendus Physique 15 (2014), pp. 789–840: author line and abstract, scope of Sagnac investigations and the role of optical analogies.

A metrology researcher whose gas-thermometry work compared thermodynamic temperature with a practical temperature scale. A constant-volume gas thermometer, precision manometer and measurements of apparatus thermal expansion supplied independent physical constraints. The comparison exposed differences between an operational calibration scale and the underlying thermodynamic quantity it was intended to represent.[ref]

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!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- 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-calculusArticles 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.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.

- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
