The Computerized Physics Testing System
(1984)The following thesis is intended to provide information for those interested in either the general form of the physics testing system or in its mechanical details. Both educational philosophy and programing mechanics played ... -
Construction and Calibration of an AC Susceptometer for Investigation of the Magnetic Exchange Interactions of Binuclear Cobalt(II) and Nickel(II) Macrocyclic Compounds
(1997)An AC Susceptometer was constructed and calibrated. It was able to reproducibly measure susceptibility in the temperature range from 10 -300 K. It was used to measure the susceptibility of a series of binuclear macrocyclic ... -
Construction and Testing of an Audio Frequency Preamplifier and Power Amplifier
(1975)The two amplifiers built in this project comprise a high quality audio-frequency ampl1fier system. Used in conjuction with each other, they should be capable of providing all the gain required to drive almost any hi-fi ... -
Construction of a Beta-Ray Spectrometer
(1967)During the last three months I have been involved in the construction of a beta-ray spectrometer. This paper is intended as a report on this project. The theory of beta-decay is treated only in such depth as is necessary ... -
The Construction of a Transmission Line Superregenerative Receiver for Use in Pure Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance Spectroscopy
(1966)The purpose of this project was to build a device that would be both a source of r-f energy and a detector capable of detecting an absorption of energy in the 100 to 300 me range. Several types of radio-frequency ... -
Construction of an Electrometer
(1973)The purpose of this project was to build,calibrate and use an inexpensive electrometer. The electrometer was constructed in the college electronics lab and tested by the running of the photoelectric effect and the determination ... -
Continuum Percolation Models of Composite Materials: Conductivity of Conductive Medium Containing Insulating Needles
(1988)The research for my Senior Individualized Project was performed in a research assistantship in the Condensed Matter Physics Branch of the Physics/Astronomy Department of Michigan State University. The majority of our ... -
Conversion of Electrical to Acoustic Energy by a Spark
(1967)In this research, an attempt is made to view the spark from energy considerations. An insight into the relationship between the energy used to produce a spark and the transformation of this initial energy into other ... -
Cooling Pond Modeling
(1971)For the purposes of micrometeorology the atmosphere near the surface can be divided into three general regions. First, immediately adjacent to the surface exists a very thin laminar sublayer in which the air flow is smooth ... -
COPROD: A Computer Program for the Calculation of Cobalt-60 Isotope Production in the Big Rock Point Power Reactor
(1970)Consumers Power Company (Jackson, Michigan) produces well over 106 Curies per year of the isotope cobalt-60 at its Big Rock Point Power Reactor in Charlevoix, Michigan. A computer program (COPROD - for CObalt PRODuction ... -
Critical Current Determination in High-Quality YBCO Rings for Application in a Fault Current Limiter
(2001)The first section of this work is an introduction to basic properties of superconductors and the theory of operation of a superconducting fault current limiter (FCL). The set of experiments described in the subsequent ... -
Cryostat Chamber Construction
(2005)This project describes the steps taken in constructing a cryostat chamber for use in hightemperature superconductor research. The paper begins with a small introduction describing the history of superconductor research ... -
Current Distributions of Resistor Networks : An Analogy to Information Flow
(2011)This paper details the methods, models, and results of this two part project. The premise of this project is that the information flow between two points in a network can be analogous to the current flow between those two ... -
The Current-Voltage Characteristic of a Nickel to N-Type Silicon Junction
(1969)Contacts between metals and semiconductors have been under investigation for many years because of the value of their asymmetric conduction properties in producing rectification. F. Braun was one of the earliest ... -
A Customized Artificial Communication System for the Physically Handicapped
(1984)This project is merely a stage in the creation of a computer system. In a previous stage, a developmental prototype was designed and built by the Artificial Language Laboratory at Michigan State University. Developed seven ... -
Decay Study of Pb202m
(1970)The decay of 3.62 hour Pb202m has been studied using high-resolution y-ray spectroscopy in an effort to elucidate its nuclear structure. Singles and y-y coincidence measurements were taken with the result that the previously ... -
Decomposition of Virus Normal Modes into Spherical Harmonics An Exploration of Symmetry Adapted Functions (SAFs)
(2020-02-13)The normal modes for viruses, in which all of its atoms are oscillating at the same frequency, can be thought of as a very complicated system of masses and springs. Each atom has its own mass, and the bonds between atoms ...
