cold plasma model

Materials science; Material physics

Model of plasma where the plasma temperature is neglected.

hybrid modes

Materials science; Material physics

Modes of cylindrical dielectric wave guides such as optical fibers, in which both axial electric and magnetic field components are finite. Hybrid modes are classified into two ...

spatial hole burning

Materials science; Material physics

Multimode oscillations observed in a homogeneously broadened media are due to spatial hole burning. A laser in a cavity forms a standing wave. At the nodes of the standing wave of ...

supermultiplet

Materials science; Material physics

Multiplet comprising greater than three lines.

alcator plasma machine

Materials science; Material physics

Name given to a set of tokamaks designed and built at MIT; these fusion plasma machines with toroidal magnetic confinement are distinguished by higher magnetic fields with ...

Casimir operator

Materials science; Material physics

Named after physicist H.A. Casimir, these operators are bi-linear combinations of the group generators for a Lie group that commute with all group generators. For the covering ...
