| Description: | This web-based software teaches the user concepts about materials science. The software contains several topics ranging from a three-body problem to a vortex core states in superconductors. Material Science contains examples, and questions to help the user learn about the topics. The software covers the following topics: - Jupiter! The Three-Body Problem - Order Parameters, Broken Symmetry - Topology - LASSPTools - The Ising Model - Waves, Optics, and Particles Coarsening. - Crackling Noise - Hysteresis, the return-point memory effect, and avalanche distributions The software contains information on the following topics: - Precursors to martensitic phase transitions - Melting a copper cluster - Layer-by-Layer Forever - Elastic Theory has Zero Radius of Convergence - Electromigration and Voids. - Double Jumps: Altered Arrhenius Laws. - Frustrated nonlinear sigma model of metallic glasses - Elastic dipole model explaining universal low-temperature properties - Zero temperature entropy distributions at slow cooling rates - Slow relaxation in frustrated Ising and Frenkel-Kontorova systems - Scaling theory of the liquid-to-glass transition - Slow relaxation in the Griffiths phase in spin glasses - Spin glasses on a Bethe lattice - Sliding of charge-density waves - Structure of the blue phases as networks of disclination lines - Ideal blue phase template on the surface of a sphere in four dimensions - Quasicrystalline model for the blue fog phase - Defect theory of the rippled P-beta' phase of lyotropic smectics - Boojums in chiral smectic liquid crystal films - Instanton methods applied to defect tunneling in the presence of phonons - Photoinduced soliton pair formation in polyacetylene - Statistics of the quasiparticles in the RVB state - Cusps in Inhomogeneous Broadening: Level Repulsion and Dirt - Atomic Tunneling from a STM/AFM Tip - Vortex core states in superconductors - Ground state of an interacting anyon system This courseware was originally cataloged at http://www.my-edu2.com/eduframe.htm. |
