Image fix or dataset share
We probably need to fix an image on the page for Bloch wave / bloch theorem. See last comment [], can you please check ? Then can you either fix the image or share the dataset (and imagine some matlab stuff) to rebuild the correct image ? comment added by User:flyredeagle

What is the production process for your images?
I'm interested in the image work you've done. However, neither in your site nor here does it explain how you go about making them. Are they all custom programs?

 * Click the image. Click "Details" in the bottom-right. If you do it right you should get to a page like this: CLICK HERE. You'll find details and (when applicable) source code. If you have trouble finding the image details pages, or if you still have questions after that, you're welcome to ask. :-) --Steve (talk) 19:40, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Quantum Harmonic Oscillator Animation.
Hello. Thank you for your efforts to visualize hard to grasp concepts. It is appreciated (By many I am sure). I have a quick question. I have to admit I am not a programmer. But I am involved in a theoretical research where I find myself in need of wave form visualization tools, Is there perhaps a program you might suggest? or should I just bite the bullet and go back to school (for the third time lol) I am particularly interested in the harmonic oscillation wave forms animations. I am attempting to map those in three dimensions. Is it possible?

Thank you

 * You can click any image on my user page, and click "more details", and you'll get to a page like this one and I always put the source code (or how I made it) at the bottom. You'll see that I made that particular image with Mathematica. Later on you'll see that I mostly switched to using Python to make images, and for the animations I would make a bunch of images programmatically using Python and then call imagemagick to stitch them together into an animated gif. Maybe there are better methods, I dunno. I don't have any special training, just general "ability to write code". --Steve (talk) 16:47, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

"Polar vector" listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Polar vector and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 July 3 until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

How to Cite Your Shockley Queisser Curve
Hello, I want to use your SQ curve as seen in this link in my publication and I want to cite you. How can I do that? For the time being, I will mention your website, the Wikipedia link, and your name, is that correct? The citation will appear as: Byrnes S. Shockley Queisser Full Curve [Internet]. Wikipedia. [cited 2024 Jan 17]; Available from: https://sjbyrnes.com/misc.html. Please tell me if you want it to appear differently. AmrShalaby92 (talk) 16:32, 18 January 2024 (UTC)


 * It's ultimately your call, but I would recommend linking to either https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ShockleyQueisserFullCurve.svg or https://github.com/sbyrnes321/SolarCellEfficiencyLimits/blob/master/sq.ipynb, rather than to sjbyrnes.com which is not a good archival link because I reorganize my site now and then, and also that page doesn't directly have that curve anyway. --Steve (talk) 16:39, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the prompt response.
 * Okay, I will use both the Wikipedia and the Github links. AmrShalaby92 (talk) 18:13, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Data source
Hi, i was wandering if you could share what data set you used for the awesome Shockley-Queisser limit graphs? I want to re-use this data for a graph with different markup 87.212.32.53 (talk) 15:26, 6 June 2024 (UTC)


 * I suggest to use the code at https://github.com/sbyrnes321/SolarCellEfficiencyLimits/blob/master/sq.ipynb - it might take a few hours to run, but then you’ll have regenerated the data, and you can plot it or export it however you want. --Steve (talk) 17:33, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
