  2. Scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scattering

    It is more common that scattering centers are grouped together; in such cases, radiation may scatter many times, in what is known as multiple scattering. [11] The main difference between the effects of single and multiple scattering is that single scattering can usually be treated as a random phenomenon, whereas multiple scattering, somewhat ...

  3. Surface states - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_states

    The surface state dispersion can be measured using a scanning tunneling microscope; in these experiments, periodic modulations in the surface state density, which arise from scattering off of surface impurities or step edges, are measured by an STM tip at a given bias voltage. The wavevector versus bias (energy) of the surface state electrons ...

  4. Dispersion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(chemistry)

    Dispersion is a process by which (in the case of solid dispersing in a liquid) agglomerated particles are separated from each other, and a new interface between the inner surface of the liquid dispersion medium and the surface of the dispersed particles is generated. This process is facilitated by molecular diffusion and convection. [4]

  5. Light scattering by particles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_scattering_by_particles

    Multiple-scattering effects of light scattering by particles are treated by radiative transfer techniques (see, e.g. atmospheric radiative transfer codes). The relative size of a scattering particle is defined by its size parameter x, which is the ratio of its characteristic dimension to its wavelength:

  6. Spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectroscopy

    In biochemical spectroscopy, information can be gathered about biological tissue by absorption and light scattering techniques. Light scattering spectroscopy is a type of reflectance spectroscopy that determines tissue structures by examining elastic scattering. [10] In such a case, it is the tissue that acts as a diffraction or dispersion ...

  7. Dispersion stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_stability

    Multiple light scattering coupled with vertical scanning is one of many techniques monitor the dispersion state of a product, identifying and quantifying destabilisation phenomena. [2] [3] [4] It works on concentrated dispersions without dilution. When light is sent through the sample, it is backscattered by the particles / droplets.

  8. Density of states - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_of_states

    The density of states related to volume V and N countable energy levels is defined as: = = (()). Because the smallest allowed change of momentum for a particle in a box of dimension and length is () = (/), the volume-related density of states for continuous energy levels is obtained in the limit as ():= (()), Here, is the spatial dimension of the considered system and the wave vector.

  9. S-matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-matrix

    In physics, the S-matrix or scattering matrix is a matrix which relates the initial state and the final state of a physical system undergoing a scattering process. It is used in quantum mechanics , scattering theory and quantum field theory (QFT).
