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...- Tony

Undergrad 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...- Tony

Undergrad 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...- Tony

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...- Tony
