Energy as a source of pre-service teachers' conceptions about radioactivity

Axel-Thilo Prokop, Ronny Nawrodt

Although researchers have extensively studied student conceptions of radioactivity, the conceptions held by pre-service teachers on this subject are largely absent from the literat…

Why and How to Implement Worked Examples in Upper Division Theoretical Physics

Philipp Scheiger, Ronny Nawrodt, Holger Cartarius

Studying worked examples has been shown by extensive research to be an effective method for learning to solve well-structured problems in physics and mathematics. The effectiveness…

Thermal charge carrier driven noise in transmissive semiconductor optics

F. F. Bruns, S. P. Vyatchanin, J. Dickmann +4

Several sources of noise limit the sensitivity of current gravitational wave detectors. Currently, dominant noise sources include quantum noise and thermal Brownian noise, but futu…

Thermal noise of beam splitters in laser gravitational wave detectors

Johannes Dickmann, Stefanie Kroker, Yuri Levin +2

We present the calculation of thermal noise in interferometric gravitational-wave detectors due to the thermal fluctuations of the beam splitter (BS). This work makes use of a rece…

Thermal noise in complex systems

Rene Glaser, Klara T. Knupfer, Lukas Maczewsky +5

We present a method to calculate the power spectral density of Brownian noise in complex optomechanical systems using Levin's approach of virtual pressure and present first mechani…

Brownian Thermal Noise in Functional Optical Surfaces

S. Kroker, J. Dickmann, C. B. Rojas Hurtado +4

We present a formalism to compute Brownian thermal noise in functional optical surfaces such as grating reflectors, photonic crystal slabs or complex metamaterials. Such computatio…
