Loose pages previously bound in a ring folder containing excerpted notes about conductors and semiconductors, the value of fundamental constants, optical properties of material under UV light, statistics, and magnetic properties. The pages also contain dedicated sections about graphite, including its specific heat, optical properties, electrical resistivity, and thermal conductivity.

Loose pages previously bound in a ring folder containing excerpted notes from journal articles, some miscellaneous scientific information, the law of redshift, and the scattering and luminescence in crystals.
