quantum wells
Materials science; Material physics
Two-dimensional nanostructures where optical properties can be studied in confined geometries.
stripping reaction
Materials science; Material physics
Type of nuclear reaction when two nucleons interact that allows the possibility of transferring one or more nucleons between them. For example, a deuteron is incident on an 16 O ...
Bernstein mode
Materials science; Material physics
Type of plasma mode that propagates perpendicular to the equilibrium magnetic field in a plasma. Bernstein waves, named after the plasma physicist Ira Bernstein, have their ...
semiclassical theory
Materials science; Material physics
Type of theory that deals with the interaction of atoms with light, treating the electromagnetic field as a classical variable (c-number) and the atom quantum mechanically.
recirculating heating system
Materials science; Material physics
Typically used in industrial ovens or furnaces to maintain the atmosphere of the working chamber under constant recirculation throughout the entire system.
joule
Materials science; Material physics
Unit of energy in the standard international system of units.
shadow matter
Materials science; Material physics
Unseen matter in the universe (see supersymmetric theories). This matter is visible only through gravitational interaction in the modem theory of superstrings.
