IntroductionThis handbook supplements the Bulletin (ExploreDegrees) and other University publications by providing information about department-specific policies and procedures. It also provideshelpful resources to support you during your academic program. Further information and resourcesare available from the Office if needed.Because graduate school is an active partnership between the student and the department,the department expects students to familiarize themselves with this information and to seek clarification as needed.Students are held to the degree requirements included in the Stanford Bulletin (ExploreDegrees) and department handbook published in the year of matriculation; departmental practices andprocedures outlined in the handbook may change year to year.Department InformationMailing Address:Department of Applied Physics 348 Via Pueblo MallStanford University Stanford, CA 94305-4090Phone: (650) 723-4027Location:Spilker Engineering and Applied Science Bldg.

MailThe Applied Physics mailboxes are located in the hallway opposite the main office. Student mailis put in the slot corresponding to the shared box that Claire has assigned to you. You should checkthere regularly, even if you have a mailbox in your eventual lab.Departmental office space for Ph.D. students is assigned within their research labs by their lab.However, in the Applied Physics lounge, there are lockers for student use. Please speak to Claireand she will assign you a locker and a key. Students may also use the lounge anytime for studyingand using the community computer and printer.EmailEmail is the primary method for department announcements and individual notifications. Checkyour email regularly. You must setup your Stanford email account (free account) which is established when you request your SUNet ID – see: d.Your Stanford email is to be used for all Stanford related business.Building AccessThe Campus Card serves as an identification card, an electronic key, and a debit card, allowingyou to enter and access secured facilities, exercise privileges to which you are entitled, and makepurchases against funds deposited in a Stanford Card Plan account.Applied Physics Graduate students receive building access to this building (Spilker). Arrangements should be made with Mike Schlimmer at 650.723.0250 or email to schlimer@stanford.edu bysubmitting a building access application form. Each student should always make sure that afterhours, the doors are securely fastened when you enter and leave the building.Please keep your Campus Card in a secure location. Notify the department immediately if cardsare lost or stolen. You are responsible for your own Campus Card and if your Campus Card is lostor stolen you will be responsible to pay any fees associated with making a replacement.Distribution ListsApplied Physics Student Services maintains a private distribution list for academic reminders andother major informational mailings. We will add your ‘@stanford.edu’ email address during yourfirst week here. The list is apgradstudents@lists.stanford.edu.Student Directory InformationApplied Physics does not maintain its own student directory. Instead, we rely on the AXESS system, in which students review and update their own official directory information, such as localand permanent addresses, email, phone numbers, etc. Please keep this info up to date.If you wish to keep some or all of your information confidential, AXESS lets you mark items"private" so that only authorized people can see. Please use this privacy function rather than withholding information.Equipment UsageThe office copier is available for your use for department related business. Priority of use is givento faculty and staff. For large copy jobs, please replenish paper after your use. Students are responsible for making their own copies. Students wishing to make color copies will receive a specialcode on a case by case basis.A computer is available for your use in the Applied Physics lounge (first floor). This computer is5
connected to the copier, thus allowing you to send files to it for printing. The copier is availableafter hours with your building key.Research/Conference FundingStudents may apply for up to 200 in research/conference funding per each academic year. Thisfunding primarily covers the cost of travel for attending conferences and conducting research integral to the dissertation. The research funding should be pre-authorized by your advisor and thedepartment administrator.Academic RecordsStudents are welcomed to review their academic files at any time. Please make an appointmentwith the Student Services Officer as all files must remain in the Main Office. Any forms, coursework, reports, etc. relating to your course of study will be placed in your academic file.Applied Physics Program OverviewApplied Physics is a graduate department in the School of Humanities and Sciences. It is one ofthree elements — Applied Physics, Physics, and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory — inthe broader physics community at Stanford. The Department emphasizes fundamental research inareas of potential technological importance and in areas of science where a physics point of viewis particularly effective, including the life sciences. Training for a Ph.D. in Applied Physics isfocused on learning distinct skills required for being a successful research scientist and teacher.First and foremost is learning how to ask important questions and then devise and carry out experiments to answer these questions.Students will work closely with an established advisor during this learning process and also meetregularly with a committee of other faculty members to ensure they understand the importance ofdiverse perspectives on scientific questions and approaches. Students should learn how to criticallyevaluate pertinent original literature and to stay abreast of scientific progress in their areas of interest, as well as acquire substantial breadth beyond their own research field. In addition, studentsshould learn how to organize and produce professional presentations and write manuscripts forpublication.The Department also has a tradition of inventing new tools for science and new devices for technology. Present activities include research in accelerator physics, atomic and molecular physics,biophysics, condensed matter and materials physics, nanoscience and technology, photonics, quantum information, synchrotron radiation and ultrafast science.Because of the broad range of techniques and intellectual points of view that are relevant to contemporary applied physics, the coursework and research in the Department are designed to bringthe student into contact with activity in several disciplines related to physics, such as engineering,materials science, biology and chemistry. The program of graduate training is designed to preparegraduates for professional leadership careers in science and technology, either in academia or inindustrial environments.Student research is supervised by the faculty members and also by various members of other departments such as Biology, Bioengineering, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, Materials Scienceand Engineering, Physics, the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, and faculty of the MedicalSchool who are engaged in related research fields.Research activities are carried out in laboratories including the Geballe Laboratory for AdvancedMaterials (GLAM), the Edward L. Ginzton Laboratory (GINZTON), the Hansen ExperimentalPhysics Laboratory (HEPL), the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, the Center for Probingthe Nanos
