inert core

Materials science; Material physics

Nucleons in the nucleus which are inactive, except for providing binding energy to the valence (or outermost) nucleons.

electron cyclotron frequency

Materials science; Material physics

Number of times per second that an electron orbits a magnetic field line. The frequency is completely determined by the strength of the field and the electron's charge-to-mass ...

hairpin vortices

Materials science; Material physics

Observed in boundary layers. They have an axis in the transverse direction with legs near the wall and a head and neck that extend away from the wall. They have been associated ...

orifice plate

Materials science; Material physics

Obstruction-type meter used in pipe flow to determine the flow rate by measuring the pressure drop across a sudden contraction and expansion.

Bremsstrahlung radiation

Materials science; Material physics

Occurs in plasma when electrons interact ("collide") with the Coulomb fields of ions; the resulting deflection of the electrons causes them to radiate.

Schrödinger representation

Materials science; Material physics

Often used for the Schrödinger picture.

global symmetry

Materials science; Material physics

One independent of spacetime, i.e., the system is symmetric under the same symmetry operation at each space-time point.
