Pitot tube
Materials science; Material physics
Slender tube aligned with the flow that measures the stagnation pressure of the fluid through a hole in the front where the fluid stream is decelerated to zero velocity.
lifting of degeneracy
Materials science; Material physics
Slight inequality of energy of a group of quantum states due to the presence of a perturbation, usually weak, that destroys or lowers the symmetry of the underlying system.
removal of degeneracy
Materials science; Material physics
Slight inequality of energy of a group of quantum states due to the presence of a perturbation, usually weak, that destroys or lowers the symmetry of the underlying system.
magnetic probe
Materials science; Material physics
Small insulated coil of wire used to measure local changes in magnetic flux and, consequently, to measure local magnetic field strength and direction.
liquid crystals
Materials science; Material physics
Some organic crystals, when heated, go through one or more phases before they melt into the pure liquid phase. These intermediate phases, known as mesophases or mesomorphic phases ...
Trace
Materials science; Material physics
Sometimes known as "spur". The result of adding the matrix elements along the diagonal.
sonic boom
Materials science; Material physics
Sound wave created by the confluence of waves across a shock.
