one atom maser

Materials science; Material physics

The amplification of electromagnetic waves by exciting atoms in a superconducting microcavity. A highly collimated beam of Rydberg atoms passes through a Fizeau velocity selector ...

field amplitude

Materials science; Material physics

The amplitude of the electric field.

structure factor

Materials science; Material physics

The amplitude of the scattered wave in a particular direction, in a crystal, when the reflection takes place obeying Bragg law, the incident wave (X-rays or electrons) being of ...

scattering angle

Materials science; Material physics

The angle between the initial and final directions of motion of a scattered particle.

electron gas

Materials science; Material physics

The approximation describing the properties of free electrons as gas particles.

molasses

Materials science; Material physics

The arrangement of six laser beams in a three-dimensional arrangement similar to the setup of a magneto-optical trap. However, a magnetic field is not present. The arrangement of ...
