Physics and Math Resources

GENERAL PHYSICS DATA

NIST Science Data Portal    A comprehensive searchable catalog of experimental, teoretical, and computational data, and analysis tools.

NIST Standard Reference Data    This is a continualy updated catalog of NIST reference data, spanning the Institute's entire research spectrum. It contains 41 fee-based databases and 49 free databases.

NIST Physical Reference Data   A database of up-to-date physical standards such as the fundamental constants, nuclear/atomic/molecular spectroscopy, x-ray and gamma-ray data, solid state data etc.

NIST Chemistry Webbook   A comprehensive catalog of thermophysical and transport properties of fluids, including phase change, saturation properties etc. It is fully searchable by molecule name and/or formula.

Open Quantum Materials Database    A detailed database of DFT-calculated thermodynamic and structural properties of 815,654 materials, developed at Northwestern University.

CERN Opendata Portal    A comprehensive catalog of particle physics infromation.

 

ASTRONOMY DATA

MATH RESOURCES FOR PHYSICISTS

NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions   This is the authoritative online reference for mathematical functions.  It is a continually updated comprehensive resource covering virtually all functions (and their associated differential and integral equations, various representations, properties, usage etc.) a physicist will ever need.

Tables of Integrals, Series, and Products   This is probably the most comprehensive list of integrals and series.

 

OPEN-ACCESS PUBLICATIONS

arXiv e-Print archive    A free distribution service for hard-science preprints started at LANL and currently hosted by Cornell University.

Los Alamos Research Online    A fully searchable online repository of all papers originated at LANL from 2006 to the present.

Directory of Open Access Journals   A fully searchable database of more than 15,000 open-access journals spanning many fields.

 

DEPARTMENT LIBRARY

Broussard Hall, room 208, contains a small library of mathematics and physics books.  A catalog has been created so that anyone can search for these books by title, subject, author or keyword.
