  2. Bose gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bose_gas

    The thermodynamics of an ideal Bose gas is best calculated using the grand canonical ensemble.The grand potential for a Bose gas is given by: = ⁡ = ⁡ (). where each term in the sum corresponds to a particular single-particle energy level ε i; g i is the number of states with energy ε i; z is the absolute activity (or "fugacity"), which may also be expressed in terms of the chemical ...

  3. Condensed matter physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensed_matter_physics

    Condensed matter physics is the field of physics that deals with the macroscopic and microscopic physical properties of matter, especially the solid and liquid phases, that arise from electromagnetic forces between atoms and electrons. More generally, the subject deals with condensed phases of matter: systems of many constituents with strong ...

  4. High energy density physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_energy_density_physics

    High-energy-density physics (HEDP) is a subfield of physics intersecting condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics and plasma physics.It has been defined as the physics of matter and radiation at energy densities in excess of about 100 GJ/m 3 equivalent to pressures of about 1 Mbar (or roughly 1 million times atmospheric pressure).

  5. Tachyon condensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyon_condensation

    Tachyon condensation is a process in particle physics in which a system can lower its potential energy by spontaneously producing particles. The end result is a "condensate" of particles that fills the volume of the system.

  6. Bose–Einstein condensate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bose–Einstein_condensate

    In condensed matter physics, a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) is a state of matter that is typically formed when a gas of bosons at very low densities is cooled to temperatures very close to absolute zero, i.e., 0 K (−273.15 °C; −459.67 °F).

  7. Collision cascade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_cascade

    In condensed-matter physics, a collision cascade (also known as a displacement cascade or a displacement spike) is a set of nearby adjacent energetic (much higher than ordinary thermal energies) collisions of atoms induced by an energetic particle in a solid or liquid. [1] [2]

  8. Timeline of condensed matter physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_condensed...

    Condensed matter refers to materials where particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) are closely packed together or under interaction, such as solids and liquids. This field explores a wide range of phenomena, including the electronic , magnetic , thermal , and mechanical properties of matter .

  9. Second sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_sound

    In condensed matter physics, second sound is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which heat transfer occurs by wave-like motion, rather than by the more usual mechanism of diffusion. Its presence leads to a very high thermal conductivity.
