  2. Condensed matter physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensed_matter_physics

    Condensed matter physics is the field of physics that deals with the macroscopic and microscopic physical properties of matter, especially the solid and liquid phases, that arise from electromagnetic forces between atoms and electrons. More generally, the subject deals with condensed phases of matter: systems of many constituents with strong ...

  3. High energy density physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_energy_density_physics

    High-energy-density physics (HEDP) is a subfield of physics intersecting condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics and plasma physics.It has been defined as the physics of matter and radiation at energy densities in excess of about 100 GJ/m 3 equivalent to pressures of about 1 Mbar (or roughly 1 million times atmospheric pressure).

  4. Solid-state physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_physics

    Solid-state physics is the study of rigid matter, or solids, through methods such as solid-state chemistry, quantum mechanics, crystallography, electromagnetism, and metallurgy. It is the largest branch of condensed matter physics. Solid-state physics studies how the large-scale properties of solid materials result from their atomic-scale ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Condensed_matter...

    Condensed matter physics is the field of physics that deals with the macroscopic physical properties of matter.In particular, it is concerned with the "condensed" phase matter, phases that appear whenever the number of constituents in a system is extremely large and the interactions between the constituents are strong.

  6. Tachyon condensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyon_condensation

    In condensed matter physics a notable example is ferromagnetism; in particle physics the best known example is the Higgs mechanism in the Standard Model that breaks the electroweak symmetry. Condensation evolution

  7. Timeline of condensed matter physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_condensed...

    This branch of physics focuses on understanding and studying the physical properties and transitions between phases of matter. Condensed matter refers to materials where particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) are closely packed together or under interaction, such as solids and liquids.

  8. Bose–Einstein condensate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bose–Einstein_condensate

    In condensed matter physics, a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) is a state of matter that is typically formed when a gas of bosons at very low densities is cooled to temperatures very close to absolute zero, i.e., 0 K (−273.15 °C; −459.67 °F).

  9. Collision cascade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_cascade

    In condensed-matter physics, a collision cascade (also known as a displacement cascade or a displacement spike) is a set of nearby adjacent energetic (much higher than ordinary thermal energies) collisions of atoms induced by an energetic particle in a solid or liquid. [1] [2]
