Bio
Hi! My name is Ashley Corey and I’ve loved Physics ever since my first physics class my junior year of high school. I’m passionate about quantum information sciences and am really curious about materials and how they behave under certain conditions.Project ideas
Exploring Material Science and Condensed Matter
1. Study the behavior of common materials (metals, insulators, or semiconductors) as they transition from solid to liquid phases with changing temperatures. 2. Explore how temperature affects the electrical conductivity of various materials, such as using simple circuits and resistors. 3. Investigate the phenomenon of superconductivity and how certain materials can conduct electricity with zero resistance at low temperatures. 4. Examine the effects of temperature on the magnetic properties of materials, like ferromagnetic or paramagnetic substances. 5. Conduct experiments to measure the specific heat capacity of different solids, which is a fundamental property related to how materials store and release thermal energy. 6. Study the behavior of liquids and gases as they undergo phase transitions, like the critical point of a substance.
