Description

Spin is the fourth and oft overlooked quantum number used to describe electron wave functions. This notebook seeks to explore what about spin make it useful for devices which rely on the intrinsic spin of electrons.

Description

Birefringence is a phenomenon where anisotropic crystals diffract light like a diffraction grating. This notebook develops visualizations to better understand how this phenomenon arises from such anisotropic crystals.
