"Chaos" is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that focuses on research in the field of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory. It was established in 1991 and is published by the American Institute of Physics. The journal covers a wide range of topics related to chaos and complexity, including mathematical theories, experimental studies, and applications in various scientific fields such as physics, biology, engineering, and economics.
The International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer is a peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes research articles, reviews, and studies in the fields of heat transfer, mass transfer, and related engineering disciplines. The journal aims to disseminate high-quality research findings and theoretical contributions that enhance the understanding of heat and mass transfer phenomena and their applications in various industries.
The Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that focuses on research related to magnetism and magnetic materials. It publishes original research articles, reviews, and letters in the field of magnetism, including topics such as magnetic properties of materials, magnetic phenomena, and applications of magnetic materials in technology.
The *Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology* is a scientific journal that publishes research articles and reviews related to the field of vacuum science and technology. It encompasses a wide range of topics including, but not limited to, vacuum generation, measurement techniques, surface science, thin films, and applications of vacuum technology in various scientific and industrial fields. The journal serves as a platform for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to disseminate their findings and advancements related to vacuum systems and technologies.
Physics of the Solid State, often referred to as Solid State Physics, is a branch of physics that studies the physical properties of solid materials. It focuses on understanding how the arrangement of atoms, the interactions between them, and their collective behaviors influence the macroscopic properties of solids. Here are some key aspects of Solid State Physics: 1. **Crystal Structures**: Solid materials often have a periodic arrangement of atoms, which can be understood through concepts like unit cells and lattice structures.
The Hall effect is a phenomenon observed in electrical conductors and semiconductors when they are placed in a magnetic field perpendicular to the direction of an electric current. It was discovered by Edwin Hall in 1879. When a current-carrying conductor is subjected to a magnetic field, the motion of the charged particles (such as electrons) in the conductor is affected by the magnetic field.
Quantum yield is a measure of the efficiency of a photophysical or photochemical process, defined as the ratio of the number of events of a specific type (such as emitted photons, formed molecules, etc.) to the number of photons absorbed. It is a dimensionless quantity often expressed as a decimal or a percentage.
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.
