... solids to be dense, classical, ideal gases [see Eq.8.29] is in amazingly good agreement with the high temperature (∼ 300K ○ ) molar heat capacities of many solids, it fails to account for the observed rapid fall in cv at low temperature. An especially large effect in diamond caught Einstein’s (1907) ...

Lecture notes, Chapter 6. Time Evolution in Quantum Mechanics
... (such as the probability density |ψ(x, t)|2 or the expectation values of observable, (A) = ψ(x, t)∗ A[ψ(x, t)]) are still time-independent. (Check it!) Thus we were correct in calling these states stationary and neglecting in practice their time-evolution when studying the properties of systems they ...

Laminar and Turbulent Flow in Pipes
... The velocity profile in a pipe will show that the fluid at the centre of the stream will move more quickly than the fluid towards the edge of the stream. Therefore friction will occur between layers within the fluid. Fluids with a high viscosity will flow more slowly and will generally not support e ...

Chiral Spin States in the Pyrochlore Heisenberg Magnet
... Fermionic mean-field theory and variational Monte Carlo techniques have been employed to understand the nature of the ground state of the spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on the pyrochlore lattice. From VMC calculations, of the four different flux states considered, the [/2,/2,0]-flux state had the l ...
