energy barrier
11Schottky barrier — A cell barrier established as the interface between a semiconductor, such as silicon, and a sheet of metal. Solar Electric Glossary …
12Energy Equivalent Speed — Die Energy Equivalent Speed (kurz: EES) ist die Geschwindigkeit eines Fahrzeugs mit Gesamtmasse m, dessen kinetische Energie dann genau einer gegebenen Deformationsenergie entspricht. Nach einem Unfall kann aus dem Deformationsmuster des… …
13Activation energy — In chemistry, activation energy, also called midnight energy, is a term introduced in 1889 by the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius, that is defined as the energy that must be overcome in order for a chemical reaction to occur. Arrhenius… …
14Coulomb barrier — The Coulomb barrier, named after Coulomb s law, which is named after physicist Charles Augustin de Coulomb (1736–1806), is the energy barrier due to electrostatic interaction that two nuclei need to overcome so they can get close enough to… …
15Drain Induced Barrier Lowering — As channel length decreases, the barrier φB to be surmounted by an electron from the source on its way to the drain reduces Drain induced barrier lowering or DIBL is a secondary effect in MOSFETs referring originally to a reduction of threshold… …
16Air Retarder/Barrier — A material or structural element that inhibits air flow into and out of a building s envelope or shell. This is a continuous sheet composed of polyethylene, polypropylene, or extruded polystyrene. The sheet is wrapped around the outside of a… …
17Infiltration barrier — A material placed on the outside or the inside of exterior wall framing to restrict inward air leakage, while permitting the outward escape of water vapor from the wall cavity. [See California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Section 2 5302] …
18Vapor barrier — A material with a permeance of one perm or less which provides resistance to the transmission of water vapor. [See California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Section 2 5302] …
19Finite potential barrier (QM) — In quantum mechanics, the finite potential barrier is a standard one dimensional problem that demonstrates the phenomenon of quantum tunnelling. The problem consists of solving the time independent Schrödinger equation for a particle with a… …
20Dielectric barrier discharge — (DBD) is the electrical discharge between two electrodes separated by an insulating dielectric barrier. Originally called silent (inaudible) discharge and also known as ozone production discharge[1] or partial discharge,[2] it was first reported… …
