  2. Chemical oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_oscillator

    In chemistry, a chemical oscillator is a complex mixture of reacting chemical compounds in which the concentration of one or more components exhibits periodic changes. They are a class of reactions that serve as an example of non-equilibrium thermodynamics with far-from-equilibrium behavior.

  3. Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belousov–Zhabotinsky...

    A stirred BZ reaction mixture showing changes in color over time. The discovery of the phenomenon is credited to Boris Belousov.In 1951, while trying to find the non-organic analog to the Krebs cycle, he noted that in a mix of potassium bromate, cerium(IV) sulfate, malonic acid, and citric acid in dilute sulfuric acid, the ratio of concentration of the cerium(IV) and cerium(III) ions ...

  4. Oscillator phase noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillator_Phase_Noise

    This happens because the phase noise does not affect the total power in the signal, it only affects its distribution. Without noise, S v (f) is a series of impulse functions at the harmonics of the oscillation frequency. With noise, the impulse functions spread, becoming fatter and shorter but retaining the same total power.

  5. Briggs–Rauscher reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Briggs–Rauscher_reaction

    Oscillogram made in July 1972 by Briggs and Rauscher. The Briggs–Rauscher oscillating reaction is one of a small number of known oscillating chemical reactions.It is especially well suited for demonstration purposes because of its visually striking colour changes: the freshly prepared colourless solution slowly turns an amber colour, then suddenly changes to a very dark blue.

  6. Peierls transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peierls_transition

    The earliest written record of the Peierls transition was presented at the 1954 École de physique des Houches.These lecture notes (shown below) contain Rudolf Peierls' handwritten equations and figures, and can be viewed [3] in the library of the Institut Laue–Langevin, in Grenoble, France.

  7. Molecular vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_vibration

    A molecular vibration is a periodic motion of the atoms of a molecule relative to each other, such that the center of mass of the molecule remains unchanged. The typical vibrational frequencies range from less than 10 13 Hz to approximately 10 14 Hz, corresponding to wavenumbers of approximately 300 to 3000 cm −1 and wavelengths of approximately 30 to 3 μm.

  8. Stationary state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stationary_state

    The oscillation frequency of the standing wave, multiplied by the Planck constant, is the energy of the state according to the Planck–Einstein relation. Stationary states are quantum states that are solutions to the time-independent Schrödinger equation : H ^ | Ψ = E Ψ | Ψ , {\displaystyle {\hat {H}}|\Psi \rangle =E_{\Psi }|\Psi \rangle ...

  9. Quantum harmonic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_harmonic_oscillator

    Following this approach, we define the operators a and its adjoint a †, = (^ + ^) † = (^ ^) Note these operators classically are exactly the generators of normalized rotation in the phase space of and , i.e they describe the forwards and backwards evolution in time of a classical harmonic oscillator.
