Lynda Williams Solid State Of Mind Lyrics

Solid State Of Mind Lyrics

Some folks like astronomy and study galaxies in the local group.

Some like
quantum gravity, pulling super strings from the cosmic soup.

But I'm
pointing my laser, at an earthly crystalline.

I'm in a Solid State of
Mind.



I've heard all the theories on the Higgs Boson and
Supersymmetry.

Been around the cyclotrons and down the beam lines of high
energy.

But I can build what I'm needing -  I don't need to wait for
time.

I'm in a Solid State of Mind.



I really dig
crystallography and the

symmetries of lattices and point groups.

Is
it orthohombic, hexagonal or face centered cube?

X-ray diffraction is a
great way to spend some time.

I'm in a Solid State of Mind.



It is so easy to get work today.

If Solid State is the physics you
do.

Hard drives, cell phones, computers, hearing aides.

The Solid
State,  pays.



Semiconductors have changed the way that we live
today.

Junction Transistors gave birth to our computer age.

Electronic switching - getting faster all the time.

I'm in a Solid
State of Mind.



It is so easy to get work today.

If Solid
State is the physics you do.

MOSFETS, IC's, LEDs and wafer substrates

The Solid State, is here to stay.



Superconductivity at Hi Tc
(critical temperature) is super cool

Superfluidity of He3 is super
smooth

So many super mysteries 

We'll solve them one phase at a
time.

I'm in a Solid State of Mind.



I'm building a quantum
dot laser out of Indium Arsenide.

I'm in a solid, or amorphous, State of
Mind.
