 ====== Useful Links ======
+/* comment */
+===== Journals =====
+These are direct links to several journals. If you can link to them also through the [[https://library.oregonstate.edu/|OSU Library Proxy Server]], you will have free access to all articles (ONID login required from off campus).  If you cannot access a journal through the Proxy Server, request the article through interlibrary loan. This service is paid for by your tuition and/or fees.
+  * [[http://www.nature.com/nmat/index.html|Nature Materials]] is a monthly journal devoted to the latest-breaking news on new materials.
+  * [[https://pubs.acs.org/journal/nalefd|Nanoletters]] is a monthly journal specifically addressing physics and chemistry, of nanomaterials and nanodevices.
+  * [[https://journals.aps.org/about|Physical Review Online]]. Of the Phys. Rev. journals, [[http://journals.aps.org/prb/|Phys. Rev. B ]] is comprehensive and devoted to solid state physics.

 ===== 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 long as you are an OSU student, you are permitted a free copy for use on your own computer.  [[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.
