A partial list of semiconductor physics papers is available on my MIJ-NSR HomePage.

My Ph. D. Dissertation was entitled "Hot Electron Resistance and Magnetoresistance in High Purity Gallium Arsenide".

Laws of Meta-Science

The Irrelevance of Chemistry Rule

If Chemistry's important, then you're in big trouble.

The Irrelevance of Chemistry Corollary

If you think Physics is important, then you're overlooking some Chemistry.

Corporate Research Lab Sociology

• Bell Labs researchers and IBM researchers are very similar. They're like diodes, because information only flows in one direction. It's just a different direction.
• Reasons to listen
  • You should always listen carefully to what an IBM researcher has to say-- He's a world's expert!
  • You should always listen carefully to what a Bell Labs researcher has to say--You're an idiot!
