To do a good research thesis should I search for the best ranked universities or the number of publication of the professors under whom I want to work. Is there any other criteria. On what is the funding/Scholarship for the Ph.D. Student depends on. Thank you.

Ph.D in Nano So I will go ahead with Ph.D. I will be writing Physics GRE , General GRE, TOEFL. Is this enough for getting into caltech, MIT or UC. Are there any other requriements to get into these top universities. Should I go & work for a Project in IISc or IIT for an year, before...

By Specialization I mean I have taken extra 4 courses on Electronics in my final year. My university doesn't give the course as M.Sc(Electronics), instead M.Sc Physics (specialization in electronics). Do I have to do a course work for Ph.D., even if I do M.S. in the same university (for...

I am Arun. R. doing M.Sc in Physics(Specialization in Electronics) in India. I am intersted in doing ph.d in Nanotechnology in U.S.A. I have a few questions to ask. a) Is M.S. a must before Ph.D, with my background of B.Sc & M.Sc(Physics) in Physics or can I directly apply for a Ph.D.(If...

Thank you fujisuma . It was a very useful link.

a) What are the major applications of nanotechnology that is gaining a rapid momentum in U.S.A. b) What are the application of Nanotechnology in the field of Biology. Can students of physics apply for such research program. c) What are the major universities doing research in nanotechnology...

I am saiarun doing my M.Sc(physics)specialization in Electronics in India. I wish to pursue M.S. or Ph.D in Nanotechnology in U.S. . I wish to get into any of the top ranking universities in U.S. like stanford,caltech ,harvard etc. I will be working as project assisstant for next one year in...

Can anybody in the forum direct me as to where I can get the solution manual for "Statistical Mechanics" - by Pathria. Thanking you in advance.

In the electron detection using Silicon Detector ,Liquid nitrogen is used to cool the system . why is it used. What is "sweating" which is caused if the detector is not in vaccum,when kept in liq. nitogen Thanking you in advance. :smile:

is electron still particle in the electron cloud I accept and agree to James' views, but can we say that electron is still a particle in the electron cloud(which gices probability distribution),though we may not be able to accurately find its position.

I am doing a Masters degree in physics in India. I am interested in doing research work in nanotechnology. Can anyone please direct me which are the best universities in nanotechnology research in Europe and U.S. What are the entrance exams required. In how many years can we finish the...

Thank you Monique, the website was very helpful.

[FONT=Comic Sans MS]undefined Can anyone in the forum please direct me to know whether GRE or TOEFl is the only criteria to enter into the US universities for doing a Ph.D. I am doing my masters in physics in the degree 'Master of Science(Physics)' in India. I want to do research on...

I have learned that transistors are current source. a) I want to know what is the difference between current source and voltage source? b) Can't voltage source also be a current source? c) When we use a current source and when a voltage source Thanking you in advance. :smile:
