  2. Lorentz oscillator model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_oscillator_model

    The model is derived by modeling an electron orbiting a massive, stationary nucleus as a spring-mass-damper system. [2] [3] [4] The electron is modeled to be connected to the nucleus via a hypothetical spring and its motion is damped by via a hypothetical damper. The damping force ensures that the oscillator's response is finite at its ...

  3. Harmonic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_oscillator

    A simple harmonic oscillator is an oscillator that is neither driven nor damped. It consists of a mass m, which experiences a single force F, which pulls the mass in the direction of the point x = 0 and depends only on the position x of the mass and a constant k. Balance of forces (Newton's second law) for the system is.

  4. Rabi problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabi_problem

    Rabi problem. The Rabi problem concerns the response of an atom to an applied harmonic electric field, with an applied frequency very close to the atom's natural frequency. It provides a simple and generally solvable example of light–atom interactions and is named after Isidor Isaac Rabi.

  5. Quantum harmonic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_harmonic_oscillator

    The Hooke's atom is a simple model of the helium atom using the quantum harmonic oscillator. Modelling phonons, as discussed above. A charge q {\displaystyle q} with mass m {\displaystyle m} in a uniform magnetic field B {\displaystyle \mathbf {B} } is an example of a one-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator: Landau quantization .

  6. Langevin equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langevin_equation

    This plot corresponds to solutions of the complete Langevin equation for a lightly damped harmonic oscillator, obtained using the Euler–Maruyama method. The left panel shows the time evolution of the phase portrait at different temperatures. The right panel captures the corresponding equilibrium probability distributions.

  7. Oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillation

    Oscillation. Repetitive variation of some measure about a central value. An undamped spring–mass system is an oscillatory system. Oscillation is the repetitive or periodic variation, typically in time, of some measure about a central value (often a point of equilibrium) or between two or more different states.

  8. Q factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_factor

    The Q factor is a parameter that describes the resonance behavior of an underdamped harmonic oscillator (resonator). Sinusoidally driven resonators having higher Q factors resonate with greater amplitudes (at the resonant frequency) but have a smaller range of frequencies around that frequency for which they resonate; the range of frequencies for which the oscillator resonates is called the ...

  9. Nilsson model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nilsson_model

    The Nilsson model is a nuclear shell model treating the atomic nucleus as a deformed sphere. In 1953, the first experimental examples were found of rotational bands in nuclei, with their energy levels following the same J (J+1) pattern of energies as in rotating molecules. Quantum mechanically, it is impossible to have a collective rotation of ...
