    Conversion of emu measurement to Tesla

    Homework Statement I took a Moment vs field measurement of magnetic thin film taken on a VSM. The Bs of the material is given in emus. I want to convert this to a moment value in Tesla as it is typically given in publications. Are VSM measurements actually emu/cm3 despite being given as...

    Electron and hole wavefunctions in a semiconductor QW

    Homework Statement I'm attempting to understand better how optical transitions occur in a QW (more specifically quantum cascade lasers) with and without an electric field. If an electron in the second excited state falls to the first, is it simply the transistion matrix between these two...
