This program demonstrates properties of percolation, especially near the geometric phase transition, and is part of a group of simulations for Statistical and Thermal Physics. http://www.compadre.org/OSP/items/detail.cfm?ID=8649 http://www.compadre.org/Repository/document/ServeFile.cfm?ID=8649&DocID=1062 http://www.compadre.org/OSP/bulletinboard/Thread.cfm?ID=8649 Tue, 31 Mar 2009 00:00:00 EST The Polarizer program displays the effect of a plane polarizer on an incident electromagnetic wave. The default electromagnetic wave is plane polarized but this polarization can be changed using the input fields. The slider can be used to rotate the polarizer to change its orientation. http://www.compadre.org/OSP/items/detail.cfm?ID=7178 http://www.compadre.org/Repository/document/ServeFile.cfm?ID=7178&DocID=362 http://www.compadre.org/OSP/bulletinboard/Thread.cfm?ID=7178 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 00:00:00 EST The Orbit program displays the dynamics of multiple massive objects interacting gravitationally. The default scenario shows the figure-eight orbit of three particles first discovered by Montgomery. Additional particles and their initial positions and velocities can be specified. http://www.compadre.org/OSP/items/detail.cfm?ID=7182 http://www.compadre.org/Repository/document/ServeFile.cfm?ID=7182&DocID=366 http://www.compadre.org/OSP/bulletinboard/Thread.cfm?ID=7182 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 00:00:00 EST The QM Wigner program displays the position-space wave function and the associated quasi phase space probability distribution using the Wigner function. http://www.compadre.org/OSP/items/detail.cfm?ID=6813 http://www.compadre.org/Repository/document/ServeFile.cfm?ID=6813&DocID=294 http://www.compadre.org/OSP/bulletinboard/Thread.cfm?ID=6813 Tue, 01 May 2007 00:00:00 EST
