shear rate
Materials science; Material physics
Rate of fluid deformation given by the velocity gradient du/dy. Also called strain rate and deformation rate.
resonant scattering
Materials science; Material physics
Scattering of a photon by an atom or nucleus or, in general, a microscopic system, in which the system first absorbs the photon by undergoing a transition from one of its energy ...
Thomson scattering
Materials science; Material physics
Scattering of electromagnetic radiation by free (or loosely bound) particles.
depolarization
Materials science; Material physics
Scattering of nucleons from nucleons (spin 1/2 on spin 1/2 hadronic scattering) can be parameterized in terms of nine variables, but at any given scattering angle only four of ...
sublattices
Materials science; Material physics
Sections of the primitive cell of a crystal. For instance, the Si lattice can be viewed as consisting of two interpenetrating face-centered cubic sublattices displaced along the ...
Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin method (WKB method)
Materials science; Material physics
Semi-classical approximation of quantum wave functions and energy levels based on an expansion of the wave function in powers of Planck's constant.
heterostructure lasers
Materials science; Material physics
Semiconductor lasers which are made of heterojunctions. A heterojunction is made of layers of two different types of materials which are doped by p and n types of atoms. For ...
