JNCASR and IISc bangalore offer Int. PhD programme for gradutes

Thanks kanato for the nice explanation

Gradient: Its interpretation is quite qood in Griffiths. Assume u have a scalar field. For example, we take the case of a solid body where the temperature has differnt values at different point in the solid. We would like to find the temperature difference between two close by points along some...

Example Anderw has described it correctly. Here is an exmple from a lab experience. Those who work in lowtemperature physics employ Liq.He and N2 and make use of this principle to reach temp. below the (normal) boiling point of these liquids. For example. Liq. He4 boils at 4.2K and by pumping...

Read "Mathews & Walker - Mathematical methods of Physics"

There is an excellent LaTeX document editor + userfriendly interface to MikTeX called "WinEdt"

Condensematter-Optical properties books Here are two important books on the "Optical properties of solids: 1. F. Wooten - "Optical Properties of Solids" Comment : Excellent treatment, the standard reference quoted in many journal articles. Year of Public: 1976 2. G. Gruner & M...

Thanks for sharing this info.

Use "Microcal Origin Version 7.0", a window based software.

Thanks Zapper for the info. The vol no. is "v.309" - please correct it.

Quantum Manybody Physics Take a look at the book of P.Coleman, Rutgers on "Quantum Manybody Theory", which discusses strogly correlated systems as well http://www.physics.rutgers.edu/~coleman/mbody/pdf/bk.pdf

THis is a good book too - "Electrodynamics of solids" - Dressel & Gruner, Camb. Univ. Press

Nice discusion. Do we exchange e-books links through this forum. I'm a newbie.
