-Homework 4 solution is posted on BB. +Today is [[http://www.worldmetrologyday.org/|World Metrology Day]], and we have a new kilogram standard!  Read about it at the [[https://www.nist.gov/si-redefinition|National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)]] site. Here is a [[https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2019/5/17/18627757/kilogram-redefined-world-metrology-day-explained|Vox article]] that does a reasonable job of discussing it for the layperson (but note the error in the discussion of the units of Planck's constant!).
-Equation sheet for MT1 is posted {{:mt1_s13_eqns.pdf|here}}.+
  
-=== 4/29/2013 ===  +=== 5/20/2019 === 
-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!+Some solid state physics in the news - ice-XVIII.

-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.+=== 5/6/2019 === 
 +The final exam will be held at the advertised time of Thursday June 13 in Weniger 304. Please bring a prepared sheet of notes, one side of one 8.5 x 11" paper.

-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.+Midterm from 3-4 Friday May 3 in Weniger 304. Please bring a prepared sheet of notes, one side of one 8.5 x 11" paper.

 +[[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. 
  
-=== 4/19/2013 ===  +=== 4/16/2019 === 
-L9 notes posted. +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.
  
-=== 4/18/2013 ===  +=== 4/15/2019 ===
