particle image velocimetry (PIV)

Materials science; Material physics

Optical method for measuring fluid velocity by tracking groups of particles in a fluid through the use of Fourier transforms (Young's fringes). The modem digital equivalent is ...

Laser-Doppler velocimetry (LDV)

Materials science; Material physics

Optical method of measuring flow velocity at a point through use of a crossed laser beam which forms fringes due to interference. Scattered light from particles passing through ...

second quantization

Materials science; Material physics

Ordinary Schrödinger equation of one particle or more particles are described within a Hilbert space of a single particle or a fixed particle numbers. The single electron ...

Feshbach resonances

Materials science; Material physics

Originally observed in nuclear physics, these also play an important role for ultra-cold atoms as they are prepared in magneto-optical traps and Bose-Einstein condensation. When ...

international thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER)

Materials science; Material physics

Originally proposed at a summit meeting between the USA and the USSR in 1985, the purpose of ITER project is to build a toroidal device called a tokamak for magnetic confinement ...

zero-coupled pair and approximation

Materials science; Material physics

Pairs of identical nucleons in nuclei in the ground state of a nucleus prefer to couple to angular momentum zero. For those nucleons the dipole contribution of magnetic moments ...
