photon statistics
Materials science; Material physics
Properties of light determined by detectors that either annihilate the photon or not. The former experiments are mainly done with detectors based on the photoelectric effect, ...
hardness
Materials science; Material physics
Property of a solid determined by its ability to abrade or indent another solid.
coherence
Materials science; Material physics
Property of the density matrix. Coherences of the off-diagonal elements of the density matrix say something about the statistical properties of a quantum system.
Bell inequalities
Materials science; Material physics
Provide a test of quantum mechanics and its classical alternatives, the so-called local hidden variable theories. According to a paper published by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen, ...
optical Bloch equations
Materials science; Material physics
Provide an exact description of the state of a few-level atom interacting with a classical, oscillating electric field. The solutions to the first order, linear differential ...
NEL steam tables
Materials science; Material physics
Provide data on the properties of water in its liquid and vapor phases for designers using steam, for example, as a working fluid in heat engines.
octane number
Materials science; Material physics
Provides an empirical measure of the ability of a fuel to resist pre-ignition in an internal combustion engine (also known as knocking). It is the volume percentage of isooctane ...
