Student views on science and the scientific process : studying changes made in a redesigned non-major introductory science course

Creator:

Price, Matthew F.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to understand how instruction in an introductory nonmajor astronomy course at Oregon State University affects how non-science majors view science and the scientific process. The study used research-based methods to design a reform-based lecture/lab course and implement it for students. Two top-level questions were...

Heavy fermion effective mass in the superconducting vortex state

Creator:

Townsend, Emily A.

Abstract:

The extended-Lifshitz-Kosevitch formalism (ELK) unifies the treatment of the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect, allowing it to transcend its traditional roles of mapping Fermi surfaces and measuring effective masses. Here we exploit the capabilities of dHvA as a probe of many-body effects to examine heavy-fermion su- perconductivity. ELK successfully describes...
