	MPE : Space Plasma Physics
		At MPE we mainly investigate the plasma physical phenomena in the solar atmosphere, in the Earth's magnetosphere and it's boundaries, and in interplanetary space.
		With the CLUSTER mission with its 4 spacecraft we are at the advent of a new age in magnetospheric physics.
		We are, in particular, interested on the structure and dynamics of the magnetopause, on the comparison between electric fields at Cluster altitudes and in the polar ionosphere, on the acceleration of O

		Clusters of all sizes are produced in a molecular beam by ablating a sample rod with a pulsed laser.
		In the TOF spectrometer, the cluster beam (which contains clusters of all sizes) is ionized by a UV laser and accelerated toward a detector by an electric field.
		The deflection is manifested in the mass spectrum by a shifting of the peak of the deflected cluster.

	Seattle University Physics Department
		By studying physics, you might not be able to battle aliens from another dimension, but you can learn enough about how the world works to design your own software or hardware technology, and to appreciate with an increasingly deep understanding the fabulous beauty of our universe.
		Physics is universally recognized as a subject that teaches thoughtful problem-solving skills, and people trained in physics are typically seen as intelligent and adaptable.
		Physics is also a very practical major for students who want jobs in the computer and high-technology industries; the strong record of our physics major graduates at obtaining such jobs is proof.

	Welcome to the Physics Workstation Cluster!

		The physical machine which answers to this name can be any of the real machines (at the moment it's graphy).
		If you run a research job on any of the cluster machines which requires more than a couple of minutes computing time, run it in the background and at night.

	MYSTERIES OF WATER: Simulating Small Water Clusters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Water clusters are small groupings of water molecules that differ in many ways from "bulk" water, such as you find in a glass of water.
		The biggest difference is that all or most of the molecules in a small cluster are on the surface, where they have fewer chemical interactions with other water molecules than do the molecules in bulk water.
		Jordan is one among a handful of scientists applying quantum mechanical calculations to the study of water clusters, work which can test the usefulness of the water-interaction models used in simulating proteins and DNA.

	Atomic Physics - Cluster Ion Implantation
		The Cluster Ion Beam facility covers a wide range of subjects from fundamental studies of effects on energetic cluster ion impact with surfaces to radiation physics of condensed matter and application oriented implantation of atomic or molecular clusters.
		Study of the specific surface phenomena depending on cluster implantation regimes (cluster size, energy, species etc.) led to the development of fundamental models explaining cluster stopping mechanisms and their effect on the bombarded material which is of great importance for further use of cluster beams.

	Computer cluster
		Professor of physics Peter Young, who was Doshay's adviser for his master's thesis, will also be using the cluster for his own research.
		On the physics side, Doshay is interested in a broad category of problems called multiple length-scale phenomena, an example of which is seen in magnetic phase transitions.
		Modeling this kind of phenomenon is one of the most active areas in physics and applied mathematics, and it requires the kind of computational power offered by the new computer cluster.

	Open Star Clusters
		They are believed to originate from large cosmic gas and dust clouds (star-forming diffuse nebulae, or star-forming regions) in the Milky Way (or other parent galaxy), and to continue to orbit the galaxy within or near their parent galaxy's disk.
		Over 1100 open clusters are known in our Milky Way Galaxy, and this is probably only a small percentage of the total population which is probably some factor higher; estimates of as many as about 100,000 Milky Way open clusters have been given.
		The first open clusters have been known since prehistoric times: The Pleiades (M45), the Hyades and the Beehive or Praesepe (M44) are the most prominent examples, but Ptolemy had also mentioned M7 and the Coma Star Cluster (Mel 111) as early as 138 AD.

	Student Expectations in Introductory Physics: Part 2
		The second student's desire to make sense of the physics for herself was not supported and she did not begin to succeed until she switched her approach to memorization and pattern matching.
		In this case the course supported an attitude and an approach to learning that most physics instructors would not endorse and one which certainly would cause her trouble if she were to try to take more advanced science courses.
		We defined as "expert" the response that was given by a majority of experienced physics instructors who have a high concern for educational issues and a high sensitivity to students.

	Cluster (physics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As a rule of thumb, any particle of somewhere between 3 and 310^7 atoms is considered a cluster*.
		Soon after the first cluster sources had been developed in 1980, an ever larger community of cluster scientists was involved in such studies.
		In science, a lot is known about properties of the gas phase; however, comparatively little is known about the condensed phases (the liquid phase and solid phase.) The study of clusters attempts to bridge this gap of knowledge by clustering atoms together and studying their characteristics.

	OSU Computational Physics - Unix: 3.1 So Which Machine Should I Use? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		An open console is a good machine to start with, or use an X station to a machine which does not get much use.
		In the Department Cluster, the DEC's are somewhat faster machines than the IBM's and they may seem like the best choice.
		But remember that two users on a "fast" machine is probably slower than one user on a "slow" machine (the fast machines are hardly ever twice as fast at complete calculations).

	Physics of Metal Clusters
		Atomic clusters, covering the size range from a few to several hundred thousand atoms, represent an intermediate stage in the transition from small molecules to solids (for an overview see [1]).
		In microscopic approaches to small clusters the atoms are usually decomposed into ionic cores, represented by suitable pseudo-potentials, and the chemically active valence electrons.
		In our group the structure of small phosphorus clusters and the fusion of two Na_8 clusters [4] have been studied on the basis of this microscopic approach (see also [5]).
