Lecture Notes

PHAS2228 Statistical Thermodynamics notes
Lecture notes for the UCL Physics PHAS2228 Statistical Thermodynamics course.
The PDF contains the lecture notes, and the tarball contains the figures to accompany them.
These are several years old, and there may be a few typos in them, so cross-reference with your own notes. I won’t be updating these notes, but if any one wants the editable source files I might be able to dig them out.
PHAS2222 Quantum Physics notes
Lecture notes for the UCL Physics PHAS2222 Quantum Physics course.
These are several years old, and there may be a few typos in them, so cross-reference with your own notes. I won’t be updating these notes, but if any one wants the editable source files I might be able to dig them out.

MSci Thesis Presentation Slides
Slides from the presentation of my MSci thesis “b-jet shape analysis using Monte-Carlo methods”.
This was presented before I’d actually completed the research, and analysis, so some of the data shown in the presentation is significantly different from the final write-up.

Determination of the wavelengths of the Sodium doublet lines and the measurement of the thickness of a thin transparent film using a Michelson interferometer
My report on the Michelson interferometer experiment for the lab course during the second year of my MSci. Might be of use to anyone taking the second year lab course but, otherwise, not terribly exciting.
Zeeman Effect in Mercury
My report on the Zeeman effect experiment for the lab course during the third year of my MSci. Might be of use to anyone taking the third year lab course but, otherwise, not terribly exciting.
On chaotic pulsation in semiconductor laser diodes, the optical systems used in determining the occurrence of chaotic pulsation, and the application of this to the encryption of data signals
My MSci Physics group project final report.
