PHYS 3100: Intro to Modern Physics Lab

This guide is for students in PHYS 3100, who must look up background information on famous physics experiments.

Classic papers on physics phenomena and concepts

The following are some suggested papers to trace some of the history of physics concepts. Some of the papers you may find for free on the web, but most should be available through the library.

To find a paper that is not listed here, look it up on the library website. To access the text, click on the title in the search results. Then click one of the links in the Online section (see screen capture below).

If you cannot find a paper on the library website, you can still access it via Interlibrary Loan.
