-The purpose of this page is to solicit input/feedback from the students in Ph 575 on the use of Wien 2K as a teaching tool in Ph575. Please add/comment on the strength and weaknesses of Wien 2K and add/comment on proposed features of the new system (flair/gem) described below. Please mark your edits with your initials (JD) but you don't have to. You can also email Guenter at Guenter.Schneider@physics.oregonstate.edu and Janet at tate@physics.oregonstate.edu.+Guenter's new [[http://www.physics.oregonstate.edu/~schneidg/ph575project-flair-gem/|Flair/Gem page]] with Si tutorial, basic instructions.

 I would like the students to learn to use a real research tool that will be useful to them as they pursue research in solid state physics as experimentalists (as most will become).  Obviously, as theorists, they will use this type of tool, too, but theorists will very quickly HAVE to go beyond the level presented in this course. I would like the students to learn to use a real research tool that will be useful to them as they pursue research in solid state physics as experimentalists (as most will become).  Obviously, as theorists, they will use this type of tool, too, but theorists will very quickly HAVE to go beyond the level presented in this course.
