surface probe
1Surface second harmonic generation — is a method for probing interfaces in atomic and molecular systems. In second harmonic generation (SHG), the light frequency is doubled, essentially converting two photons of the original beam of energy E into a single photon of energy 2 E as it… …
2Surface photovoltage — (SPV) measurements are a widely used method to determine the minority carrier diffusion length of semiconductors. Since the transport of minority carriers determines the behavior of the p n junctions that are ubiquitous in semiconductor devices,… …
3Surface science — is the study of physical and chemical phenomena that occur at the interface of two phases, including solid liquid interfaces, solid gas interfaces, solid vacuum interfaces, and liquid gas interfaces. It includes the fields of surface chemistry… …
4Surface reconstruction — refers to the process by which atoms at the surface of a crystal assume a different structure than that of the bulk. Surface reconstructions are important in that they help in the understanding of surface chemistry for various materials,… …
5Surface metrology — is the measuring of small scale features on surfaces, and is a branch of Metrology. Surface primary form, surface waviness and surface roughness are the parameters most commonly associated with the field. It is important to many disciplines and… …
6surface analysis — ▪ chemistry Introduction in analytical chemistry (chemistry), the study of that part of a solid that is in contact with a gas or a vacuum. When two phases of matter are in contact, they form an interface. The term surface is usually… …
7probe — 01. The police have been [probing] into the suspicious death of a senior executive of the bank. 02. The questionnaire asks some very personal, [probing] questions which I consider to be an invasion of privacy. 03. The surgeon [probed] the organ… …
8Huygens probe — Infobox Spacecraft Name = Huygens probe Caption = A scale replica of the probe, 1.3 metres across. Organization = ESA/ASI/NASA Major Contractors = Aérospatiale, now Thales Alenia Space Mission Type = Lander Satellite Of = Saturn Launch = December …
9Langmuir probe — A Langmuir probe is a device named after Nobel Prize winning physicist Irving Langmuir, used to determine the electron temperature, electron density, and electric potential of a plasma. It works by inserting one or more electrodes into a plasma,… …
10Space probe — Pioneer H hangs in a museum A space probe is a scientific space exploration mission in which a spacecraft leaves Earth and explores space. It may approach the Moon, enter interplanetary, flyby or orbit other bodies, or approach interstellar space …
