Aeolian harp
Materials science; Material physics
Wire in a flow that produces sound due to the natural vortex shedding that occurs behind a cylinder. Since the wire is free to oscillate, the wire can resonate at its natural ...
spectral hole burning
Materials science; Material physics
With an increase in intensity, gain in a medium saturates. In a homogeneously broadened medium, line shape cannot change. Therefore, the shape of the gain curve is restricted by ...
Rydberg states
Materials science; Material physics
With the aid of frequency-tunable lasers it is possible to excite atoms into states of high principle quantum number n of the valence electron; n can be very high, of ...
transverse form factor
Materials science; Material physics
With total angular momentum J > 0, nuclei have usually nonzero magnet moments. It can interact with an intrinsic magnetic dipole of an electron. This gives an additional term in ...
Abdul Salam
Materials science; Material physics
Won the 1979 Nobel Prize in physics for his work on the unified electro-weak theory (see Glashow, Sheldon L. and Steven Weinberg, who shared the same prize). Salam, together with ...
soft X-ray
Materials science; Material physics
X-rays of longer wavelengths, the term "soft" being used to denote the relatively low penetrating power.
normalize
Materials science; Material physics
To choose a state vector with its norm equal to unity. In other words, to multiply a wave function by a constant so that its norm is equal to unity.
