Since the birth of Physical Review Letters fifty years ago‚ condensed matter physics has seen considerable growth‚ and both the journal and the field have flourished during this period. In this essay‚ I begin with some general comments about condensed matter physics and then give some personal views on the conceptual development of the field and list some highlights. The focus is mostly on theoretical developments. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.101.250001 PACS numbers: 01.30.−y The transistor

Peter Debye and his Contributions to Chemistry Abstract Dutch physicist Peter Debye studied under Arnold Sommerfeld‚ and developed several approaches using induced dipole moments and x-ray diffraction to study molecular structures. In 1912 he exhibited the Debye equation for dipole moments‚ a method to determine bond angles and the degree of polarity of covalent bonds‚ which allows the spatial configuration of molecules to be deduced with far greater accuracy than had previously

Sample Paper – 2008 Class – Physics Class – XII Dual nature of matter Q.1. State the dependence of work function on kinetic energy of electrons emitted in a photocell. If the intensity of incident radiation is doubled‚ what changes occur in the stopping potential and photoelectric current? Q.2. How does the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons vary with the work function? Q.3. the frequency of incident radiation is greater than the threshold frequency in a photocell. How

Albert Einstein is a very influential role model. Albert Einstein wasn’t only a scientist who discovered relativity‚ and made the equation E= mc2‚ he was an intelligent man who wanted to know how everything worked. Albert Einstein achieved many goals in life. Albert Einstein has won many awards because of is accomplishments. Albert Einstein was born March 14‚ 1879 in Ulm Germany. He was raised in Ulm‚ Germany but six years after he was born he moved to Munich‚ Germany. Albert began going to school

Heraclitus v. Parmenides The heavily studied philosophical debate that has been carried for centuries on the nature of being and the perception of it‚ displays the vast differences between the two philosophers Heraclitus and Parmenides. One which believed in a singularity of things‚ while one differs and carries the philosophy of a duality of reality. One that believes that the changes in perception are deceitful‚ while the other displays a philosophical view that our perceptions essentially

The science of matter and energy and of interactions between the two‚ grouped in traditional fields such as acoustics‚ optics‚ mechanics‚ thermodynamics‚ and electromagnetism‚ as well as in modern extensions including atomic and nuclear physics‚ cryogenics‚ solid-state physics‚ particle physics‚ and plasma physics. Physics (from Ancient Greek: φύσις physis "nature") is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time‚ along with related concepts such as energy and force
