  2. Rotational partition function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_partition_function

    Rotational energies are quantized. For a diatomic molecule like CO or HCl, or a linear polyatomic molecule like OCS in its ground vibrational state, the allowed rotational energies in the rigid rotor approximation are = = (+) = (+). J is the quantum number for total rotational angular momentum and takes all integer values starting at zero, i.e., =,,, …, = is the rotational constant, and is ...

  3. Hard disk drive performance characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive...

    It depends on the rotational speed of a disk (or spindle motor), measured in revolutions per minute (RPM). [5] [23] For most magnetic media-based drives, the average rotational latency is typically based on the empirical relation that the average latency in milliseconds for such a drive is one-half the rotational period.

  4. Rotational diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_diffusion

    Rotational diffusion is the rotational movement which acts upon any object such as particles, molecules, atoms when present in a fluid, by random changes in their orientations. Although the directions and intensities of these changes are statistically random, they do not arise randomly and are instead the result of interactions between particles.

  5. Rotational spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_spectroscopy

    For example, the molecule methane is a spherical top but the asymmetric C-H stretching band shows rotational fine structure in the infrared spectrum, illustrated in rovibrational coupling. This spectrum is also interesting because it shows clear evidence of Coriolis coupling in the asymmetric structure of the band.

  6. Berry mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berry_mechanism

    Trigonal bipyramidal molecular shape ax = axial ligands (on unique axis) eq = equatorial ligand (in plane perpendicular to unique axis). The Berry mechanism, or Berry pseudorotation mechanism, is a type of vibration causing molecules of certain geometries to isomerize by exchanging the two axial ligands (see the figure) for two of the equatorial ones.

  7. Run-and-tumble motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-and-tumble_motion

    Run-and-tumble motion is a movement pattern exhibited by certain bacteria and other microscopic agents. It consists of an alternating sequence of "runs" and "tumbles": during a run, the agent propels itself in a fixed (or slowly varying) direction, and during a tumble, it remains stationary while it reorients itself in preparation for the next run.

  9. Rotational–vibrational spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational–vibrational...

    The rotational constant of the ground vibrational state B′′ and centrifugal distortion constant, D′′ can be found by least-squares fitting this difference as a function of J. The constant B ′′ is used to determine the internuclear distance in the ground state as in pure rotational spectroscopy .
