afterglow
Materials science; Material physics
Recombination radiation emitted from a cooling plasma when the source of ionization, heating, etc. is removed or turned off.
plasma afterglow
Materials science; Material physics
Recombination radiation emitted from a cooling plasma when the source of ionization, heating, etc. is removed or turned off.
orthorhombic lattice
Materials science; Material physics
Rectangular unit cell with no two sides equal.
laboratory frame
Materials science; Material physics
Referred to most often in the context of particle scattering. It is the frame of reference in which the target is at rest.
change of state
Materials science; Material physics
Refers to a change from one state of matter to another (i.e., solid to liquid, liquid to gas, or solid to gas).
ultraviolet
Materials science; Material physics
Refers to electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength below that of visible light but above that of X-rays, typically in the wavelength range of 0.6-380 nm.
