  2. Molecular beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_beam

    A molecular beam is produced by allowing a gas at higher pressure to expand through a small orifice into a chamber at lower pressure to form a beam of particles (atoms, free radicals, molecules or ions) moving at approximately equal velocities, with very few collisions between the particles.

  3. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier-transform_infrared...

    Rather than shining a monochromatic beam of light (a beam composed of only a single wavelength) at the sample, this technique shines a beam containing many frequencies of light at once and measures how much of that beam is absorbed by the sample. Next, the beam is modified to contain a different combination of frequencies, giving a second data ...

  4. Rutherford backscattering spectrometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutherford_backscattering...

    Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) is an analytical technique used in materials science.Sometimes referred to as high-energy ion scattering (HEIS) spectrometry, RBS is used to determine the structure and composition of materials by measuring the backscattering of a beam of high energy ions (typically protons or alpha particles) impinging on a sample.

  5. Crossed molecular beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossed_molecular_beam

    The crossed molecular beam technique was developed by Dudley Herschbach and Yuan T. Lee, for which they were awarded the 1986 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. [3] While the technique was demonstrated in 1953 by Taylor and Datz of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, [4] Herschbach and Lee refined the apparatus and began probing gas-phase reactions in unprecedented detail.

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

  7. Gaussian beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_beam

    The equations below assume a beam with a circular cross-section at all values of z; this can be seen by noting that a single transverse dimension, r, appears.Beams with elliptical cross-sections, or with waists at different positions in z for the two transverse dimensions (astigmatic beams) can also be described as Gaussian beams, but with distinct values of w 0 and of the z = 0 location for ...

  8. Ion beam analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_beam_analysis

    This class applies molecular dynamic calculations that are able to analyze both low and high energy physical interactions taking place in the ion beam analysis. A key and popular feature that accompanies such techniques is the possibility for the computations to be incorporated in real time with the ion beam analysis experiment itself.

  9. Ives–Stilwell experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ives–Stilwell_experiment

    In 1937, Ives performed a detailed analysis of the spectral shifts to be expected of particle beams observed at different angles following a "test theory" which was consistent with the Michelson–Morley experiment (MMX) and the Kennedy–Thorndike experiment (KTX), but which differed from special relativity (and the mathematically equivalent theory of Lorentz and Lamor) in including a ...
