free induction decay
Materials science; Material physics
Term originally coined in the area of nuclear magnetic resonance to describe the decay of the induction signal of a macroscopic sample of matter containing nuclear spins which are ...
intermediate energy
Materials science; Material physics
Term used in nuclear physics for laboratory kinetic energies in the range from approximately 300 MeV to 1000 MeV. Energies within this range are typically used to study ...
correlation
Materials science; Material physics
Term used to describe the degree of deviation of the energy eigenvalues for a many-body system from that predicted by a mean field theory. For example, in the theoretical ...
chemical bond
Materials science; Material physics
Term used to describe the nature of quantum mechanical forces that allows neutral atoms to bind and form stable molecules. The details of the bond, such as the binding energy, can ...
conduction band
Materials science; Material physics
Term used to describe the set of allowed energy states, in which the electrons in a semi-conductor can occupy and produce a current. In the presence of an external electric field ...
flavor
Materials science; Material physics
Term used to identify a type of quark. Thus there are two quark flavors per generation and three known generations in the standard model. Quark flavors are up, down, charm, ...
