2Rotational spectroscopy — Part of the rotational vibrational spectrum of carbon monoxide (CO) gas (from FTIR), showing the presence of P and R branches. Frequency is on the x axis, and absorbance on the y axis. Rotational spectroscopy or microwave spectroscopy studies the …
3Icosahedral symmetry — A Soccer ball, a common example of a spherical truncated icosahedron, has full icosahedral symmetry. A regular icosahedron has 60 rotational (or orientation preserving) symmetries, and a symmetry order of 120 including transformations that… …
4Translational symmetry — In geometry, a translation slides an object by a vector a: Ta(p) = p + a.In physics and mathematics, continuous translational symmetry is the invariance of a system of equations under any translation. Discrete translational symmetry is invariance …
5CPT symmetry — CPT theorem redirects here. For the album by Greydon Square, see The C.P.T. Theorem (album). CPT symmetry is a fundamental symmetry of physical laws under transformations that involve the inversions of charge, parity, and time simultaneously.… …
6Optical axis — For the optic axis of a crystal, see Optic axis of a crystal. Optical axis (coincides with red ray) and rays symmetrical to optical axis (pair of blue and pair of green rays) propagating through different lenses. An optical axis is a line along… …
7Rotation around a fixed axis — Rotational motion can occur around more than one axis at once, and can involve phenomena such as wobbling and precession. Rotation around a fixed axis is a special case of rotational motion, which does not involve those phenomena. The kinematics… …
8liquid crystal — a liquid having certain crystalline characteristics, esp. different optical properties in different directions when exposed to an electric field. [1890 95] * * * Substance that flows like a liquid but maintains some of the ordered structure… …
9Wallpaper group — A wallpaper group (or plane symmetry group or plane crystallographic group) is a mathematical classification of a two dimensional repetitive pattern, based on the symmetries in the pattern. Such patterns occur frequently in architecture and… …
10quasicrystal — /kway zuy kris tl, kway suy , kwah see , zee /, n. a form of solid matter whose atoms are arranged like those of a crystal but assume patterns that do not exactly repeat themselves. [1985 90] * * * Introduction also called quasi periodic crystal …
