 1 PHYS 6741 – Graduate Laboratory – Spring 2016 Class Number: 10622 Instructor: Gang Chen, 167 Clippinger; 593-9610; [email protected] Classroom: Lecture: Clippinger 133; Experiments: Clippinger 353 and 352  Day and Time:   Lectures: Tue, Thu, 9 - 10:20 a.m in select weeks.   Lab sessi ons: 2-4 hrs total/week (Tue and Thu to be arranged) Course Web Page: https://blackboard.ohio.edu (and choose PHYS 6741 student role) Course Description: Selected experimental techniques used to measure structural and  physical properties of solid materials and materials s urfaces as well as physical properties of  biological systems. Experimental techniques available include X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy and Laser Tweezers.  Course Objectives and Student Learning Outcomes:  Constructing knowledge  – collect, analyze, and interpret real data from personal observations of the physical world to develop a physical worldview.  Modeling – develop abstract representations of real systems studied in the laboratory, understand their limitations and uncertainties, and make predictions using models.  Designing Experiments – develop, engineer, and troubleshoot experiments to test models and hypotheses within specific constraints such as cost, time, safety , and available equipment.  Developing technical and practical laboratory skills  – become proficient using common test equipment in a range of standard laboratory measurements while being cognizant of device limitations.  Analyzing and visualizing data  – analyze and display data using statistical methods and critically interpret the validity and limitations of these data and their uncertainties.  Communicating Physics – present results and ideas with reasoned arguments supported  by experimental evidence and utilizing appropriate and authentic written and verbal forms. Required Material: Lab Notebook: Each student must have a laboratory notebook to be used for data collection and lab notes. You will not be allowed to begin your first experiment without a lab notebook. Leave a few pages at the beginning of the notebook for a table of contents you can make later. If pages of the notebook are not already numbered, you must number the pages. Textbooks: (Chapters will be available on blackboard website) 1.
