The dynamic

Materials science; Material physics

Stark shift is sometimes also called the AC Stark shift due to its analogy to the Stark shift of atomic levels in DC fields.

super proton synchrotron

Materials science; Material physics

Started operating at the peak energy of 400 GeV in 1976 at CERN. Type 2B Type 3 Fermilab has a more advanced version of this machine.

gas

Materials science; Material physics

State (or phase) of matter in which the molecules are relatively far apart (spacing is of an order of magnitude larger than the molecular diameter) and are practically ...

atomic level

Materials science; Material physics

States in the sub-manifold of an atomic state. Atomic levels are usually split by small perturbations, but the resulting energy defects of levels are much smaller than the energy ...

dipole selection rule

Materials science; Material physics

States that electric dipole transitions in any system take place between levels that differ by, at most, one unit of angular momentum, except in the case where both levels have ...

non-degenerate

Materials science; Material physics

States that have slightly different energies.

Le Chatelier's principle

Materials science; Material physics

States that the criterion for thermodynamic stability is that the spontaneous processes induced by a deviation from equilibrium must be in a direction to restore the system to ...
