electric multipole radiation
Materials science; Material physics
Radiation that originates from higher order terms in the series expansion in the interaction of atoms with dectromagnetic radiation. Usually, electric dipole transitions are ...
intercombination lines
Materials science; Material physics
Radiative transitions between singlet and triplet spin states produce spectra with lines called intercombination lines.
electron cyclotron emission
Materials science; Material physics
Radio-frequency electromagnetic waves radiated by electrons as they orbit magnetic field lines.
cyclotron radius
Materials science; Material physics
Radius of orbit of a charged particle about a magnetic field line.
gyroradius
Materials science; Material physics
Radius of orbit of a charged particle about a magnetic field line.
Larmor radius
Materials science; Material physics
Radius of the orbit of a charged particle as it gyrates in a magnetic field. This radius is given by the velocity of the particle divided by its Larmor (or cyclotron) frequency.
lapse rate
Materials science; Material physics
Rate at which temperature decreases in the Earth's atmosphere.
