See the link from wikipedia its quite informative -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_decay As the article states for beta decay the mass number remains the same but changes depending on whether its a beta+ or a beta- decay. With regards expressions, try find examples similar to the ones...

Yes, its not meant to be solved numerically.

Can you clarify "azXn"?

This is a conceptual question, so we know for a particular material at a certain temperature Young's modulus will be a constant. Using the above equation we see that area does not reduce linearly so you're probably wondering how do I compare a thicker wire to a thinner one. Remember that to get...

I would approach this by getting the COM for each of the metal blocks. You then look at the different mass density ratio's of the two blocks. In the case above iron to aluminium is pretty much a 3:1 ratio. You then take the block as a whole and get the COM if both sides were the same density...

In this problem it appears you are looking at two electrons (or any particles) in a potential well. Orders of the 2D wavevector, I'm assuming, are the energy states. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you are looking for the peak amplitude of the wavefunction. The i,j notation, while...

It all depends on circumstances. I'm in Europe and we have two types of Masters programs - taught and research. For taught Masters there is generally a minimum entry requirement and a limited number of places. For the research Masters it comes down to funding. From what I've learned, your...

Thanks for the link to the NYU page, I've started into the Ising model this morning and already I can find similarities in notation with the paper. I'll definitely be starting with a 1D simulation and going from there. 1. Yes the appendix does calculate the hopping distance, so I'll...

Another thing is that my supervisor(s) have admitted that their knowledge of this is quite limited so they would not be much help to me. Indeed I have asked certain questions about this and they have been unable to help me. Not a reflection on their inabilites but they are experimentalists not...

Thanks for your response. My current understanding is this. In a FCC III-V lattice structure by implanting an ion with a different mass & electronegavtivity, atomic radius etc you introduce a different potential at the lattice site where the Mn ion has substituted for a Ga atom. This also (and...

Homework Statement I am currently working as an intern in a research institute (I'm a 3rd yr undergrad) and my supervisor has asked me to create a simulation from a particular model - please see linked <http://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevB.69.045202> or attached paper. I...
