  2. Excited state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excited_state

    Atoms can be excited by heat, electricity, or light. The hydrogen atom provides a simple example of this concept.. The ground state of the hydrogen atom has the atom's single electron in the lowest possible orbital (that is, the spherically symmetric "1s" wave function, which, so far, has been demonstrated to have the lowest possible quantum numbers).

  3. Electron excitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_excitation

    Electron excitation is the transfer of a bound electron to a more energetic, but still bound state. This can be done by photoexcitation (PE), where the electron absorbs a photon and gains all its energy [ 1 ] or by collisional excitation (CE), where the electron receives energy from a collision with another, energetic electron. [ 2 ]

  4. Exciton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exciton

    An exciton is a bound state of an electron and an electron hole which are attracted to each other by the electrostatic Coulomb force resulting from their opposite charges. It is an electrically neutral quasiparticle regarded as an elementary excitation primarily in condensed matter, such as insulators, semiconductors, some metals, and in some liquids.

  5. Excitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excitation

    Electron excitation, the transfer of an electron to a higher atomic orbital More generally, the transfer of energy to a normal mode; Excitement, a lost 1924 silent comedy by Robert F. Hill; Sexual excitation; Stimulation or excitation or excitement, the action of various agents on nerves, muscles, or a sensory end organ, by which activity is evoked

  6. Signal conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_conditioning

    Some sensors require external voltage or current source of excitation, These sensors are called active sensors. (E.g. a temperature sensor like a thermistor & RTD, a pressure sensor (piezo-resistive and capacitive), etc.). The stability and precision of the excitation signal directly relates to the sensor accuracy and stability.

    Writing a closed letter 'O' means that you are a private person and an introvert. If the dot on your 'i' lands high above the letter, you are considered to be imaginative.

  8. Excitation (magnetic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excitation_(magnetic)

    an excitation boost system (EBS) is a shunt design with a separate small generator added to temporarily provide an energy boost when the main coil voltage drops (for example, due to a fault). The boost generator is not rated for permanent operation;

  9. Phosphorescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorescence

    However, sustained excitation is followed by intersystem crossing to the triplet state (3 A) that relaxes to the ground state by phosphorescence with much longer decay times. In simple terms, phosphorescence is a process in which energy absorbed by a substance is released relatively slowly in the form of light.
