Extractions: Prof. Leonard Kahn 's research has spanned several areas. His early work involved the study of the surfaces of solids. Specifically, he studied the chemisorption of alkalis on metal surfaces. The technique that was used was the density functional formalism. He used this formalism to study hydrogen in metals, as well as defects in metals. The main thrust of the work was to calculate the electric field gradient in these imperfect materials. His attention then changed to the study of the optical properties of one dimensional conductors, such as TTF-TCNQ. These calculations led to the investigation of acoustic plasmons in one dimensional conductors. He then tackled the problem of superconductivity in the A-15 materials, looking for an alternative mechanism to explain their high temperature transition. Prof. Chuck Kaufman works in theoretical physics, specializing in weak interactions, quantum electrodynamics, chaos, and turbulant media. Prof. Alex Meyerovich

Extractions: Graduate Course Catalogue Introduction Courses for advanced undergraduate and graduate students Courses for graduate students The Department of Physics offers the Doctor of Philosophy and the Master of Science. Graduate study requires a minimum of 20 quarter hours of undergraduate credit in junior-senior level physics courses with a B average. These credits must include credits in intermediate electricity and magnetism, modern physics, and intermediate optics. A course in differential equations also is required. Applicants not fulfilling these prerequisites may be admitted conditionally with the understanding that they complete these courses within two quarters. All applicants must take the Graduate Record Examination General Test and the Advanced Area Test in Physics. At the master's degree level, the fundamental subject matter of graduate studies begins with the courses PHYS 7100 (Advanced Dynamics), PHYS 7200-7250 (Theory of Electricity and Magnetism), PHYS 7400 (Statistical Mechanics) and PHYS 7300-7350 (Quantum Mechanics). From these four courses, a student must select at least two and satisfactorily complete a minimum of one semester in each. No more than seven hours of PHYS 7990, Research and Thesis, may be credited toward the required minimum of 30 hours. An additional 15 hours must be taken in approved courses in physics or in a related field. The master's degree may be conferred either with or without a research thesis. The Doctor of Philosophy degree is conferred only upon students who have shown clear evidence of high academic achievement as well as the ability to conduct original research. A dissertation embodying the results of the candidate's original research represents an important part of the requirements for this degree.

Extractions: Information Systems Laboratory The classical Colpitts oscillator is commonly used to generate periodic waveforms. However with the special settings of the circuit parameters it can exhibit chaotic behaviour. Chaos in the Colpitts oscillator has been first reported by Kennedy [IEEE Trans. Circuits and Systems I, V. 41, No. 11, p. 771 (1994)] at relatively low fundamental frequency, f * = 100 kHz. Later chaotic oscillations have been observed both numerically and experimentally in the high frequency range by Wegener and Kennedy [Proc. Int. Workshop NDES95, Dublin, Ireland, p. 255] at f * = 25 MHz using a general purpose transistor with the threshold frequency f T = 300 MHz. Meanwhile, for applications to information technologies chaotic and hyperchaotic oscillators operating at high megahertz to gigahertz frequencies are urgently needed [Toward a new digital communication technology based on nonlinear dynamics and chaos, Strategic Assessment Report, U.S. Army Research Office, 1996]. Therefore, the very high frequency (VHF: 30 to 300 MHz) and the ultrahigh frequency (UHF: 300 to 1000 MHz) ranges are of special interest [U.S. Department of the Air Force, The European Office of Aerospace Research and Development, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Air Force Research Laboratory, Contract No. F61775-01-WE065, 2001-2002]. In the above mentioned work by Wegener and Kennedy chaos was predicted numerically for the Colpitts oscillator at

Extractions: Research Interests Calibrated geometries are a special class of minimal submanifolds in Riemannian manifolds introduced in the early 1980s by Harvey and Lawson. A minimal submanifold, belying its name is merely a critical point of the volume - that it is not necessarily a minima of volume. Calibrated submanifolds have stronger minimzing properties - they minimize volume in their homology class. This property makes calibrated submanifolds more "rigid" than arbitrary minimal submanifolds. Classical examples of calibrated geometries are the complex submanifolds of a Kaehler manifold, whose minimizing properties are well known. Another example is "special Lagrangian geometry" introduced by Harvey and Lawson. The flat version of the geometry exists on complex n-space and gives a special class of minimal n-dimensional submanifolds of complex n-space. On a wider class of complex manifolds - the so-called Calabi-Yau manifolds - there is also a natural notion of special Lagrangian geometry. Since the late 1980s these Calabi-Yau manifolds have played a prominent role in developments in High Energy Physics and String Theory. In the late 1990s it was realized that calibrated geometries play a fundamental role in the physical theory, and calibrated geometries have become synonymous with "Branes" and "Supersymmetry".

Extractions: C haos is a science of the real world. It is concerned with the big picture all around us things as diverse as the weather, the beating of the human heart, the stock market, population fluctuations, brain waves. Instead of particle physics, which explores the infinitesimally small building blocks of matter, chaos applies mainly to the universe we see and touch, to objects and events at a human scale. Much of the work of chaos involves finding hidden patterns, or predictability, in what people usually think of as random or "chaotic" processes things like the weather, or the rise and fall of the stock market. Chaos research has many ramifications. One of the most significant: understanding "chaotic" events can lead to predicting the future. Think of the possibilities in disease management, stock market analysis, weather forecasting...the list is endless. Much of the plot of the movie Drawing Down the Moon stems from the imaginative interweaving of witchcraft "magic" with chaos theory research. There are many similarities between the "disciplines" of magic and chaos. Both seek to make the impossible possible. Both attempt to make predictions about future events. In the movie, Gwynyth compares Joe Merchant's chaos research to "magic, scrying, divination." For fascinating information on the development of the science of chaos, we highly recommend the book "Chaos: Making a New Science" by James Gleick. This book actually inspired Steven Patterson, DDTM's writer/director, to some principals of chaos theory in the storyline of the film. Mr. Gleick's book is a revelation. It's a great read, it's accessible to non-math and non-science people, and every page of it sizzles with the excitement of this revolutionary scientific field. Steve also sent a copy of the book to Walter Koenig to help Mr. Koenig's preparation for his role as the eccentric, brilliant chaos mathematician "Joe Merchant."

Extractions: This experiment looks at the role of friction in granular silos when the bottom floor is raised quasi-statically (very slowly). When disks made of a special plastic are placed between appriopriately designed polarizers and backlit, the ones experiencing higher stresses light up. The disks are approximately 5mm in diameter. The photo shows the stress in the system at the start and after slowly pushing the bottom with a piston through approximately 1.5 cm. Analysis of the pattern of stress chains will clarify the mechanisms by which dry granular materials such as sand, coal, rice, or pills respond to external loads. Back to Top Spatial Structure and Evolutionary Stability Drs. Socolar and Wilson, Postdoc Shane Richards To understand the population dynamics of biological systems it is sometimes necessary to take into account the spatial structure of the population. That is, different types of organisms subject to the same external environmental pressures may thrive or not, depending on how the individuals tend to be arranged in space. For example, a species that tends to form dense clusters may be more susceptible to extinction due to a disease that has only a minor effect on a species that tends to be more sparsely distributed. The figure at right shows a snapshot of a simulation of simple "organisms" that remain stationary and are characterized by a single trait: their natural mortality rate. Individuals with the average mortality are gray, those with smaller (or larger) are green (or red). Individuals are born next to their parent, inheriting their parent's mortality rate plus a small random mutation. They die either from natural causes or from diseases, which are very rare. The disease kills all organisms that belong to the connected cluster where it originates. The total spread in mortality rates represented in this picture is about 10% of the average.
