    Hobbyist Optics: Resources & Chemistry Kits for DIY

    Hello, I have been interested in gaining practical experience in working with optics. In particular, I would like to become sufficiently adept to build, say, a microscope. I was hoping that there would be a do-it-yourself optics community (similar to electronics hobbyists), but am having...

    Why are electron and hole currents zero at thermal equilibrium?

    Actually, I'm not sure I'm convinced with that argument (if I understand you correctly). We use the claim that the flux is zero in order to obtain a relation between carrier concentration and the electric field. (Equations 1 and 2 in the pdf.) In particular, we use this to analyze the case of...

    Why are electron and hole currents zero at thermal equilibrium?

    Hi, I'm currently studying in an introductory semiconductor course where we use the following equations (numbers 1-5 on the first page): http://web.mit.edu/kimt/www/6.012/TheFiveEquations.pdf as a model of the underlying physics. Now, it is claimed that at thermal equilibrium, we can take J_e...

    How to Interface a Character LCD with a 8051 Microcontroller?

    I've recently finished an introductory course in practical electronics, (completed the entire Hayes/Horowitz AoE student manual) and am itching to do some further work. In particular, I want to get a character LCD (was thinking of ordering something from here...
