  2. Molecular beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_beam

    Molecular beams are useful for fabricating thin films in molecular beam epitaxy and artificial structures such as quantum wells, quantum wires, and quantum dots. Molecular beams have also been applied as crossed molecular beams. The molecules in the molecular beam can be manipulated by electrical fields and magnetic fields. [1]

  3. Gaussian beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_beam

    The equations below assume a beam with a circular cross-section at all values of z; this can be seen by noting that a single transverse dimension, r, appears.Beams with elliptical cross-sections, or with waists at different positions in z for the two transverse dimensions (astigmatic beams) can also be described as Gaussian beams, but with distinct values of w 0 and of the z = 0 location for ...

  4. VSEPR theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VSEPR_theory

    The lone pairs on transition metal atoms are usually stereochemically inactive, meaning that their presence does not change the molecular geometry. For example, the hexaaquo complexes M(H 2 O) 6 are all octahedral for M = V 3+ , Mn 3+ , Co 3+ , Ni 2+ and Zn 2+ , despite the fact that the electronic configurations of the central metal ion are d ...

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

  6. Activity coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity_coefficient

    In thermodynamics, an activity coefficient is a factor used to account for deviation of a mixture of chemical substances from ideal behaviour. [1] In an ideal mixture, the microscopic interactions between each pair of chemical species are the same (or macroscopically equivalent, the enthalpy change of solution and volume variation in mixing is zero) and, as a result, properties of the mixtures ...

  7. Ion beam analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_beam_analysis

    This class applies molecular dynamic calculations that are able to analyze both low and high energy physical interactions taking place in the ion beam analysis. A key and popular feature that accompanies such techniques is the possibility for the computations to be incorporated in real time with the ion beam analysis experiment itself.

  8. Diffraction-limited system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction-limited_system

    The ratio of this measured beam parameter product to that of the ideal is defined as M 2, so that M 2 =1 describes an ideal beam. The M 2 value of a beam is conserved when it is transformed by diffraction-limited optics. The outputs of many low and moderately powered lasers have M 2 values of 1.2 or less, and are essentially diffraction-limited.

  9. Beamline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beamline

    In particle accelerators the beamline is usually housed in a tunnel and/or underground, cased inside a concrete housing for shielding purposes. The beamline is usually a cylindrical metal pipe, typically called a beam pipe, and/or a drift tube, evacuated to a high vacuum so there are few gas molecules in the path for the beam of accelerated particles to hit, which otherwise could scatter them ...
