R-center

Materials science; Material physics

One of many centers (e.g., F, M, N, etc.) arising out of different types of treatment to which a transparent crystal is subjected to rectify some defects in the form of absorption ...

equivalence principle

Materials science; Material physics

One of the basic assumptions of general relativity, that all physical systems cannot distinguish between an acceleration and a gravitational field.

optoelectronics

Materials science; Material physics

One of the fastest growing areas of modem technology which is key for much of the communications and information industries. It is based on the quantum phenomena describing the ...

body-centered cubic structure

Materials science; Material physics

One of the most common metallic structures. In the body-centered cubic structure, atoms are arranged in a cubes, and an additional atom is located at the center of each cube.
