* Principles of Semiconductors is a good web book by Bart Van Zeghbroeck of Univ. Colorado. Google his name and you'll find the link. The Wiki wouldn't let me link to it for reasons I don't understand. | * Principles of Semiconductors is a good web book by Bart Van Zeghbroeck of Univ. Colorado.

* [[http://arjournals.annualreviews.org/loi/conmatphys|Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics]] is a new addition to the "Annual Review" Series of journals (also Mat. Sci , Chemistry etc). A good place to find summaries of quickly-developing fields by very respected authors. | * [[http://arjournals.annualreviews.org/loi/conmatphys|Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics]] is a new addition to the "Annual Review" Series of journals (also Mat.

| ===== Mathematica ===== |
| Mathematica (by Wolfram) is one of several extremely useful software programs that is useful for simple visualization of functions, computer-aided algebra, and is also a vehicle for very sophisticated programming. I highly recommend you use it for classwork, for research and for fun. As an OSU student, you have access via OSU's virtual lab, called "Umbrella". [[http://www.physics.oregonstate.edu/~tate/COURSES/ph424/Mathematica_info.html|Here]] is a link to a page I wrote for my PH424 physics class describing how to get access, how to use Wolfram's fantastic documentation and tutorials, and I added a few simple templates. |
| |
| Here are some Mathematica notebooks that I wrote that are relevant to PH575. |
