presheath
Materials science; Material physics
Plasma region that is more than a Debye length away from contact with matter, in which ions are accelerated by an electrostatic potential to a large fraction of the ion sound ...
electron cyclotron wave
Materials science; Material physics
Plasma waves at the electron cyclotron frequency.
twinning
Materials science; Material physics
Plastic deformation of a crystal that results in a partial displacement of neighboring planes. The deformed part of the crystal becomes the mirror image of the undeformed part.
stress
Materials science; Material physics
Normal or shear surface force given by the stress tensor.
direct reaction
Materials science; Material physics
Nuclear reactions are generally described as compound or direct. Although this classification is not well-defined, a compound reaction usually occurs at low energy when a particle ...
hypernucleus
Materials science; Material physics
Nuclei where some of the nucleons are replaced by hyperons. See hyperon.
valence nucleon
Materials science; Material physics
Nucleons in a shell model are divided into core and valence (active) nucleons. Core nucleons are assumed inactive, except they provide the binding energy to the valence nucleons. ...
