1Wigner effect — The Wigner effect (named for its discoverer, E. P. Wigner)[1], also known as the discomposition effect, is the displacement of atoms in a solid caused by neutron radiation. Any solid can be affected by the Wigner effect, but the effect is of most …
2Wigner crystal — Structure of a two dimensional Wigner crystal in a parabolic potential trap with 600 electrons. Triangles and squares mark positions of the topological defects. A Wigner crystal is the solid (crystalline) phase of electrons first predicted by… …
3Wigner–Seitz cell — The Wigner–Seitz cell, named after Eugene Wigner and Frederick Seitz, is a type of Voronoi cell used in the study of crystalline material in solid state physics. The unique property of a crystal is that its atoms are arranged in a regular 3… …
4Wigner-Seitz cell — The Wigner Seitz cell (named after E. P. Wigner and Frederick Seitz) is a geometrical construction which helps in the study of crystalline material in solid state physics. The unique property of a crystal is that its atoms are arranged in a… …
