The wave function or Schroedinger equation is timeless, correct? You can reverse the equations and forward it. Our arrow of time comes due to decoherence in macroscopic object. How about energy bands in solid state. Do you consider it as timeless wave function, or is it decohered?

I have looked at various off-the-shelf industrial sensors for detecting objects but I cannot find anything that will detect metal through metal. I have a metal plate that is 1/4" thick. I need to detect a metal object on the other side of the metal plate. The metal object on the other side of...

Hello fellow physicists, I have a homework assignment which is to make a scientific essay (10-15 pages long) on neutron scattering in solid state physics. Our teacher is kind of the worse and he hasn't specified what he wants it on. He just said what I'm telling you: "An essay on neutron...

What would happen if you tried to fly through obstacles using warp drive? Distorting space so that two points are closer wouldn't get around the fact that there might be obstacles (e.g. air molecules, space dust, empire destroyers) that you would bump into along the way right. Would all of that...

I have the Cp of Benzoyl peroxide (BPO) in gas form (454.39 J/molK). What approximation could I make to find the Cp of solid BPO as I cannot find this info online? thanks

a) Just using the equations gives us: surface charge density = ## \rho_{\rho s} = kR^2 ## volume charge density = ## \rho_\rho = -4kR ## b) I am not sure here but the Q on the shell is the same as within. If that's the case we can use gauss law to find Q which I guess is the total charge. ##...

Anyone have any idea how to perform the following two integrals? ##\int d\Omega n_{i}n_{j}## and ##\int d\Omega n_{i}n_{j}n_{k}n_{l}## where the n is a unit vector.

How did you find PF?: Google I am studying the mechanical/electrical nature that govern certain nano-fabricated crystalline structures. Can someone with experience please recommend a 3d Solid State Simulation software that will allow me perform the following: Allows individual 3D placement...

I found this paper https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0412216 We have an interferometer with to arms. The firsr has a couple of HWP's inclened by an angle theta and the second has the crossed couple. A mixed state is in input. i look to the figure withe the Bloch sphere. i see 2 paths on it. one...

I'm a bit confused on the derivation above. I understand what the goal of the derivation is, as it derives Gauss's Law using the solid angle, but i was wondering if someone could kind of fill in the steps the author skipped and explain the use of the solid angle.

I think in solid or liquid phase, there are many molecule having a very large speed due to random character in moving.So the liquid or solid matter must co-exist with other phase because some molecules escape from surface of solid or liquid matter.Then is there any condition for existing only...

For which field is there more demand in the industry? And is knowledge of quantum electronics/optics useless without having a phd, as I see most job offers ask for a doctorate degree. Are the skills and knowledge from quantum electronics transferable to engineering positions or is what you...

Well, in this problem, I try to use $$d \tau '= \mu ^2 \sin {\theta} {d\mu} {d\theta} {d\phi}$$ With these domain integration: $$0<\mu<r$$ $$0<\theta<\pi$$ $$0<\phi<2\pi$$ , I get $$V=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{3Qr^2}{2R^3}$$ This result is wrong because doesn't match with Prob 2.21, which...

for this derivation, I decided to think of the solid hemisphere to be made up of smaller hemispherical shells each of mass ##dm## at their respective center of mass at a distance r/2 from the center of the base of the solid hemisphere. also, I have taken the center of the base of the solid...

My idea is this: tensor stress is directly related to the internal pressure of a solid. That is to the force that the neighboring atoms exert each other in relation to a unit of surface. When I heat a solid we can have the phenomenon of thermal expansion: this is connected to the fact that a...

The two situations are shown in the figures alongside. The hollow sphere has a thick heavy rim that compensates for the air inside it - both spheres have the same mass ##m_B## and radius ##r_B##. Since the bodies have the same mass ##m_B##, the mass of liquid displaced is the same ...

I am not sure about my free body diagram. I assume the cylinder rolls without slipping so the forces acting on the cylinder are: Weight directed vertically downwards Normal force directed perpendicular to the plane friction directed upwards, parallel to the plane Am I correct till this point...

Does increase the size of the solid body increase its entropy? I was thinking about it using the Einstein model of solid. S = k*lnΩ Ω = (q+n-1)!/((q)!(n-1)!) I am not sure how this question should be answer, i think if we talk about rigid bodies, the question don't even have sense, but about...

The volume of the sphere = \frac{32{\pi}r^{3}}{3} The answer given at the back of the book is (\frac {32}{3} - 4\sqrt{3}){\pi}r^3 To drill a hole completely through the sphere, the hole would have to have a length of 4r. To get the answer in the back of the book, it requires setting the...

$$Q_{(\alpha, \beta)} = \sum_{N=0}^{\infty} e^{\alpha N} Z_{N}(\alpha, \beta) \hspace{1cm} (3.127)$$ Where ##Q## is the grand partition function, ##Z_N## is the canonical partition function and: $$\beta = \frac{1}{kT} \hspace{1cm} \alpha = \frac{\mu}{kT} \hspace{1cm} (3.128)$$ In the case of an...

I tried $$\Omega = \pi(\frac{\theta}{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}$$

I was always a little confused about the rolling down of a body, let's say, a sphere. It's know that to body rotate, from the rest, in a referential frame on the ground [inertial], is necessary a friction, that will just act like a medium that transforms kinetic energy of translation into...

I found out the time when rotation ceases to be 4 ##v_0## /5*mew*g, where mew=coefficent of friction of surface but I am unable to plot the graph post that time

Hello all: I was wondering are we have a name for protein structure , or we consider them amorphous? Any one did a phono propagation in protein molecules ? Protein folding and phonons any relationship? When peptides came together and start to form the protein dose phonons/photon propagation...

For ##q >> N ##. ##\Omega \approx \left( \frac{eq}{N} \right)^N \text{ } (2)## (Schroeder, An introduction to thermal physics (2.21)). Can we argue that: ##\Delta I = - \Delta S \text{ } (3)?## How large can ##\Delta N##, be? Thank you for your time.

is it correct if i use Gauss divergence theorem, computing the divergence of the vector filed, that is : div F =2z then parametrising with cylindrical coordinates ##x=rcos\alpha## ##y=rsin\alpha## z=t 1≤r≤2 0≤##\theta##≤2π 0≤t≤4 ##\int_{0}^{2\pi} \int_{0}^{2} \int_{0}^{4} 2tr \, dt \, dr...

I would like to know of any compound that I can use to add to a liquid that can turn it into a solid. I would like the liquid to be air drying and form a solid but slightly fragile structure. Almost semi-brittle, where if hit or crushed, small pieces of crystals would break off. Is there such...

The load system formed by the point load and the load distribution generates two regions in space corresponding to r<1m and r>1m, i.e. inside and outside the sphere. Given the symmetry of the distribution, by means of the Gaussian theorem we can find the modulus of the field at a distance r from...

Why is it important to study this? And what makes them interesting to study?

Alright, I'm trying to find out what the Chemical naming convention would be of a Mixture Aluminium (nanoparticles) and Liquid Oxygen. The Mixture is mended as a monopropellant in a lunar rocket engine.

Hello all : i was wondering is it possible to study the air layer over a solid object at the interface ? using spectroscopic methods ? for example density ?

I am certain this has been answered...but I missed it. Why do so many guitar players swear by TUBE amps? My son-in-law says they just sound better. Because I was a TV/Radio service tech for 20 years with a degree from Elkins Institute, he asks me why? My guess was, maybe amplifying a signal...

Hi, I find this... Please tell me your opinion on this. Thanks.

Sorry if i made any language errors, English isn't my first language. Question: The limited area in the plane is created when the space between the line y=1 and the graph to the function f(x)=3*x/(x^2+1) rotates around the y-axis. Calculate the volume of the solid.I want to sum up all the...

For some reason I have become very unsure but my gut feeling says i can calculate y=(1-x^(a/b))^(d/c) I already know the formula for calculating the volume. but can transfer the whole thing as a function of y(x) and take the integral then as a single integral?

What I did: ##\frac{dm}{dA} = \frac{M}{\frac{3\sqrt3 R^2}{2}}## ##dm = \frac{2M}{3\sqrt3 R^2} dA## (1) ##dA=3\sqrt3 rdr## (2) (2) in (1) ##dm = \frac{2M}{3\sqrt3 R^2} 3\sqrt3 rdr## Now in the integral ##I = \int \frac{r^2 2Mrdr}{R^2}## How can I solve the integral interval? I think I...

I tried to use ##W = ε_0/2 \int E^2d\tau## for all space. So I find that ##E = \frac{(R^3 - b^3)\rho}{3ε_0r^2}## where ##\rho## is the charge denisty. So from here when I plug the equation I get something like $$W = \frac{(R^3 - b^3)^2\rho^2 4 \ pi}{18ε_0} \int_{?}^{\inf}1/r^2dr$$ Is this...

Homework Statement: Base of solid is the region bounded by graphs ##y= \sqrt x## and ##y=x/2##. The cross sections perpendicular to the x-axis are squares whose sides run across the base of the solid. Find volume of solid. Homework Equations: - As stated above, I will want to calculate the...

Hi, I am currently studying solid-state physics course from Charles Kittel's "introduction to SSP" I searched more on youtube to get lectures to follow the book of Kittel but failed. Really I would appreciate if anybody advises me online source which can help me to comprehend the contents of...

is this method even possible? anyways here is my attempt Step1) y= 2H/3 ( H is the height of the cone) step 2) we take the density (ρ)= 3M/π R2 H. The problem i am facing is to Find "dm"

Let $R$ be the region $\left\{(x, y) : 0 \leq x \leq 1, 3^x − x − 1 \leq y \leq x\right\}$. Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating $R$ around the line $y = x$.

A hypothetical question. Heat Q is transferred from water to a metallic solid. Both have same heat capacities and the same initial temperature. Now since molecules in a liquid are more randomly oriented than a solid, will the entropy decrease of the liquid be more than the entropy increase of...

Summary: Help with volume and length expansion question Hi, I am struggling with this question. I understand that beta = 3 alpha so you use this to sub into the volume expansion equation. Is this correct? Can someone please provide a step by step instruction on how to do this question? Thank you !

Hi, I am trying to simulate necessary flux values on a car due to solar radiance. I'm trying to attain the necessary flux values using a lamp setup. I have the lamp specifications in Watts but I need to convert them into radiance values (W/m2/sr) for my application. I would like to know how to...

Hello Everyone! I am interested in examining the case of an isolated Einstein Solid (ES) with a decreasing number of oscillators. The total amount of energy of the ES is considered fixed. Whenever an oscillator abandons our model, it "leaves behind" the amount of energy it contained, so that the...

Seems the physics books agree that there is no difference in capacitance whether an isolated sphere is solid or hollow. And the reason mentioned for that always sounds something like the following: "The reason that the capacitance C, and hence the charge Q, is not affected by whether or not the...

Hi, I have to study for a solid state physics course and I'm not sure what textbook would be the best. Our professor suggested "Principles of the theory of Solids" by Ziman, or "Solid state physics" by Ashcroft. I'll intend to use both: one I buy, the other one I borrow from the library. But...

Can you tell what kind of solids by simply having access to the phonons only? Supposed you join a challenge where you will use any tools just to analyze the phonons (without telling you what kinds of solids). Can you tell what solids is it? Is there any geometric relationship between the...
