-=== 4/29/2013 ===  +=== 4/17/2019 === 
-Andrew Stickel has created a Wien tutorial with images, which I have posted on the Wien help page on the class web site (look under "Running a Calculation"). He cautions that it is a work in progress, and you can email him at stickean@onid.orst.edu if something is unclear.  Or email me.  Thank you very much Andrew!+[[https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/mrs-bulletin/news/rare-earth-topological-insulator-reveals-its-thermoelectric-properties|Here]] is some fun news about topological insulators with good thermoelectric properties. 
  
-=== 4/26/2013 ===  +=== 4/16/2019 === 
-HW 3 solutions on BB.+There is a new worksheet on the 4/15 day under "assignments" - you don't need t oturn it in, but it summarizes what we did in class and you should be able to construct it for the molecular orbitals of chain of any number of atoms.
  
-Andrew Stickel has Wien up and running on Windows and has been playing with XCrySDen.  He has offered to help anyone who is having trouble getting Wien to behave.  Thanks Andrew!  I also have XCrysDen running through Wien on the browser on my Mac, and I have updated the help page.+=== 4/15/2019 === 
 +There will be a make-up class on Tuesday 4/16 at 8am for those of you who will miss Mon 4/15 for the lunch with Dr. Wineland.

-The final exam is scheduled on Tuesday 06/11/2013 at 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm in WGR 304. To accommodate PH203 TAs in the class, the final will **also** be offered at 1-3 pm on that day. I would prefer that everyone take it then, but if you cannot, then 2-4 pm is OK. I have requested an alternative room for the final, and I am awaiting confirmation.  I will let you know.+The [[https://physics.oregonstate.edu/dirac-electrons-one-two-and-three-dimensions|physics colloquium on Monday 4/8 at 4pm in Wngr 328]] (right after our class) is of interest.  Prof. Vikram Deshpande of University of Utah will talk about topological insulators, 2D materials and carbon nanotubes.
  
-=== 4/22/2013 ===  +=== 3/29/2019 === 
-L10, L11 notes posted +The comprehensive exam for physics graduate students overlaps PH575 class time on Monday 4/1. In the Monday 4/1 class, there will be a review of mathematical concepts used in the class that should not be necessary for the physics grads (though I will repeat the class upon request). Others should attend. The first "official" class is on Wednesday 4/3.  
- +=== 2/28/2019 === 
-Wien instructions about Xcrysden updated +2019 is the [[https://www.iypt2019.org/|International Year of the Periodic Table]], celebrating 150 years since Mendeleev discovered the period system. [[http://www.nisenet.org/events/other/IYPT2019|Explore this amazing scientific achievement]].
