  2. Drude model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drude_model

    The curves for σ(ω) are shown in the graph. If a sinusoidally varying electric field with frequency is applied to the solid, the negatively charged electrons behave as a plasma that tends to move a distance x apart from the positively charged background. As a result, the sample is polarized and there will be an excess charge at the opposite ...

  3. Collision frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_frequency

    Collision frequency describes the rate of collisions between two atomic or molecular species in a given volume, per unit time. In an ideal gas , assuming that the species behave like hard spheres, the collision frequency between entities of species A and species B is: [ 1 ]

  4. Plasma parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_parameters

    The plasma collisionality is defined as [4] [5] =, where denotes the electron-ion collision frequency, is the major radius of the plasma, is the inverse aspect-ratio, and is the safety factor. The plasma parameters m i {\displaystyle m_{\mathrm {i} }} and T i {\displaystyle T_{\mathrm {i} }} denote, respectively, the mass and temperature of the ...

    [2] [3] The curve he found of voltage versus the pressure-gap length product (right) is called Paschen's curve. He found an equation that fit these curves, which is now called Paschen's law. He found an equation that fit these curves, which is now called Paschen's law.

  6. Smith chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_chart

    The Smith chart (sometimes also called Smith diagram, Mizuhashi chart (水橋チャート), Mizuhashi–Smith chart (水橋スミスチャート), [1] [2] [3] Volpert–Smith chart (Диаграмма Вольперта—Смита) [4] [5] or Mizuhashi–Volpert–Smith chart) is a graphical calculator or nomogram designed for electrical and electronics engineers specializing in radio ...

  7. Collision theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_theory

    A scheme comparing direct collision and diffusive collision, with corresponding rate equations. For a diluted solution in the gas or the liquid phase, the collision equation developed for neat gas is not suitable when diffusion takes control of the collision frequency, i.e., the direct collision between the two molecules no longer dominates ...

  8. Appleton–Hartree equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appleton–Hartree_equation

    The presence of the sign in the Appleton–Hartree equation gives two separate solutions for the refractive index. [6] For propagation perpendicular to the magnetic field, i.e., , the '+' sign represents the "ordinary mode," and the '−' sign represents the "extraordinary mode."

  9. Spitzer resistivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spitzer_resistivity

    The Spitzer resistivity (or plasma resistivity), also called 'Spitzer-Harm resistivity', is an expression describing the electrical resistance in a plasma, which was first formulated by Lyman Spitzer in 1950. [1] [2] The Spitzer resistivity of a plasma decreases in proportion to the electron temperature as /.
