Extractions: Culture Geography History Life ... WorldVillage Physics portal Physics (from the Greek phusikos phusis ), "nature") is the science of nature in the broadest sense. Physicists study the behavior and properties of matter in a wide variety of contexts, ranging from the sub-nuclear particles from which all ordinary matter is made ( particle physics ) to the behavior of the material Universe as a whole ( cosmology Some of the properties studied in physics are common to all material systems, such as the conservation of energy . Such properties are often referred to as laws of physics . Physics is sometimes said to be the "fundamental science", because each of the other natural sciences biology chemistry geology , etc.) deals with particular types of material systems that obey the laws of physics. For example, chemistry is the science of molecules and the chemicals that they form in the bulk. The properties of a chemical are determined by the properties of the underlying molecules, which are accurately described by areas of physics such as quantum mechanics thermodynamics , and electromagnetism Physics is also closely related to mathematics . Physical theories are almost invariably expressed using mathematical relations, and the mathematics involved is generally more complicated than in the other sciences. The difference between physics and mathematics is that physics is ultimately concerned with descriptions of the material world, whereas mathematics is concerned with abstract patterns that need not have any bearing on it. However, the distinction is not always clear-cut. There is a large area of research intermediate between physics and mathematics, known as

Extractions: A number of faculty members in the physics department have summer positions in their research group for undergraduate physics students. The faculty members who have informed me of summer positions in their research group are listed below. If you are interested in the area of research and feel that you have the appropriate background to benefit from the experience and to contribute to the research effort, then you should contact the faculty member directly by email. The subject of the initial contact message should be "Undergraduate Summer Research Position". The message should contain enough information, e.g., academic background, technical skills and relevant work experiences, for the faculty member to make an assessment of whether you are suited for the project. If so, then she will likely invite you for an interview. For the academic background description, a list (course number and title) of the physics, math and computer science courses that you will have completed by the summer 2005 will be sufficient. A mention of any research experiences and special technical skills in electronics or computer programing would be useful.

Extractions: E-mail: ashkenazi@physics.miami.edu The Department of Physics offers programs leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees, and both thesis and non-thesis M.S. tracks are available. Usually a Ph.D. student devotes the first year mostly to basic courses, and takes the qualifying exam at the first January following his arrival. Students should become involved with a research project by the second year, and after passing the qualifying exam, must present the beginnings of a research project to a committee within six months. This presentation will normally turn into a dissertation, but the student is not bound to it and can switch to another project or even another area of research later. Experimental research here is in the areas of astrophysics, nonlinear phenomena and chaos, optics, optical oceanography, and solid-state physics. Theoretical research is in elementary particles, environmental optics, plasmas, nonlinear phenomena and chaos, and solid-state physics. In addition to the research projects, the activities of research groups include seminars where both visitors and the department faculty and graduate students present results of their research.

Extractions: The Department of Physics The Department of Physics offers advanced degree opportunities in many areas of experimental and theoretical physics, supervised by a distinguished group of research faculty. Applications are accepted from students of diverse backgrounds and institutions: graduates of research universities or four-year colleges, from the U.S. and world-wide. Most applicants, but not all, have undergraduate degrees in physics; many have had significant research experience. Seeking to identify the most qualified students who show promise of excellence in research and teaching, the admissions process is highly selective and very competitive. In addition to fulfilling University and divisional requirements, a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in physics must: Pass the candidacy examination. This examination on basic physics covers fundamental material usually studied in upper-division undergraduate courses (mechanics, electricity and magnetism, special relativity, and quantum mechanics) and requires some knowledge of particles and fields and of the structure of matter. The candidacy examination is given every September and April and must be passed within two years of the time of matriculation.
Extractions: Research ... Eligibility Students are carefully selected by the Honors Tutorial College and the Physics and Astronomy Tutorial Board on the basis of superior ability and sustained motivation. The faculty look for good scores on standardized tests (650 or above on SAT quantitative or 30 or above on ACT math and natural sciences), but are also interested in a strong high school record (grade point average and class standing). The personalized aspects of the tutorial system occasionally make it possible to accept students who have performed less well on standardized measures of ability but who demonstrate exceptional aptitude in other ways. Curricula There are 3 separate programs available to HTC physics majors: Physics (major code BS1905) The Physics major begins with a solid foundation in classical and modern physics and laboratory techniques, leading to deeper study in more specialized areas including quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, nuclear and elementary particle physics, and condensed matter (or "solid state") physics. The Bachelor of Science degree in Physics is appropriate for students whose plans include graduate work in physics or a career in industrial research. Astrophysics (major code BS1931) The Bachelor of Science degree in Astrophysics is intended for students interested in pursuing graduate work in astronomy, or planning careers related to space science. The curriculum includes the same foundation as the Physics major, with astrophysics courses making up a significant part of the junior and senior years. The senior thesis (see below) is expected to be on an astrophysical topic.

Extractions: Fax: (401)874-2380 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
