Physics Literature Reviews Samples For Students

1.1 Overview
Quantum mechanics is a branch of Physics that deals with the behaviors of energy and matter in the smallest perspective such as the nuclear, atomic, and microscopic levels. Quantum, meaning “how much”, refers to the quantifiable units to energy and matter as observed and predicted through physics. This branch of studies stated with mathematical reasoning of certain experiments that are non-explainable through the classical mathematical methods. Physics revolutionized during the early 20th century (Coolman, 2014). Various models has been developed by scientists since them to help them in their experiments in studying particular behaviors of reaction mechanisms ...

Introduction

Radiation detectors are widely applied in numerous fields for early detection and mitigation of radiation effects within premises. The advantages associated with the application of radiation detectors are tremendous not only in the medical field but also other professional fields where radiation detectors are employed. Owing to these positive benefits of radiation detectors, their application for various functions across different fields has grown at an alarming rate ever since their inception. Radiation detectors come in numerous types and shapes (Owens and Peacock, 2004).
Nuclear medicine is notorious for the application of radiation detectors as compared to other professional fields. ...

In order to allow for free movement of electrons, graphitic carbon materials have a tendency of sharing crystalline domain (Fitzer & Köchling, 1992) for increased conductivity (Walker, P. L., 1973). In the study carried out by (Novoselov, et al.; Bazaroz & Nikolaev, 1989; Liu et al., 2004; Harfanist et al., 2004; Coleman et al., 2006), the use of graphitic carbon in several applications including the next generation electronics, composite materials (Coleman et al., 2006; Chen, I.-H., Chen, C.-Y., & Wang, 2010), activated carbon fibers, fuel cells (Wang, Zhao, & Niu, 2007; Marta, et al, 2008), sensors and batteries (Besenhard, 1999; Hess, Lebraud & Levasseur, ...

Authors from different periods in history represent nature and the physics world differently. Authors from Anglo- Saxons or the people, who inhabited Great Britain in the 5th century, represented the issue different from those in the middle or medieval ages (10th to 15th century) and also from those that came thereafter.
Anglo- Saxon author of Beowulf is believed to have written the piece sometime between 8th and 11th century. The Beowulf poet presents ancient Scandinavia with the heroic tale of Beowulf defeating a monster and later becoming King of Geats (Anon, Kirtlan 3). It shows nature as a fight ...

Non-material notions such as courage, love, truth or faith have been debated in terms of philosophical studies, as well as became central topics of literary works of different genres. Despite the fact that lots of approaches to defining these concepts have already been developed, new ones continue to emerge. For the purposes of this assignment I would like to demonstrate how different truth can be by examples of “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin and “After Reading a Child's Guide to Modern Physics” by Wustan Hugh.Auden.

Truth can be very different. Someone may associate absolute ...

1. Introduction
Even though fossil fuels and coal mines are still in adequate quantity according to some industrial experts, the earth is experiencing drastic climate change which is commonly believed as the outcomes of mining, tapping, and using coals and fossil fuels to provide electricity to homes and industries all over the world since the Industrial Revolution [7]. Therefore, one of the greatest concerns today is how to efficiently and cost-effectively utilize renewable energy, particularly solar energy, for domestic use. Solar energy is intense heat and light from the sun utilized through an array of different technologies like ...

Introduction

Psychology pertains to the study of human behavior, reactions, personalities, or even as specific and complicated as how the brain works and functions. It can be considered both as a form of academic discipline and a branch of applied science that deals with the study of different brain functions that are related to mental processes and individual human behaviors. Studying psychology, unlike other academic disciplines, often involves unique processes such as the establishment of generally accepted principles and theories, and verifying the validity of such through research that more often than not involves verification using individual and or group cases. Just ...

The continental plate in the eastern part of Asia is composed of various volcanoes and tectonic movements. Most of the volcanic rocks in this region are composed of alkali basalts with signs of continental contamination. There are various models that explain the region’s magmatic evolution. The two most common models used to explain the movements refers to the surficial processes and the other one refers to the deeper processes associated with the Pacific ocean plate. These two processes are antithetic and may hay happen subsequently. The volcanism can be traced by tomographic imaging that can be directly associated ...

The Beijing 2008 Olympic Games are considered the most spectacular sporting events ever held in the history of sports. This is because of the luxurious and amazing ceremonies together with the elevated standards of competition that ranged from marathon and javelin to yachting. It is considered the competition that hosted most sporting activities in the history or sports. One may ask how the environment in Beijing where the sports took place was. In Olympics, the three pillars are sports, culture, and environment. The environment fared well in terms of the sustainability and also contributed positively to the green legacy ...

Abstract

Studies in mechanics have evolved to be the most fundamental tool in the innovation of new materials and advanced technology. Specifically, studies in Continuum Mechanics, has been very influential in producing materials that exhibit various desirable characteristics at the expense of size and weight. Nanotubes are a perfect example of how this study has impacted the evolution in material technology. It has been used as the basis for the explanation of these complex materials as well as provisions for their behavioral effects during machining. The wide use of nanotubes in fragile fields like technical textile supplements, truly depict the stretchy ...

The novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, uses many symbols, themes and motifs to deliver its message. The narrator in the novel, Christopher John Francis, perceives himself a mathematician. The protagonist in the novel attempts to solve the murder of a large black poodle that belongs to Mrs. Shears. While many approaches are at the disposal of Christopher, he chooses to employ logic is solving the murder. The plot of the novel shows the love for logic and mathematics that Christopher has and how he uses it to solve his daily problems. Through the character of Christopher, ...
