54Powder diffraction — is a scientific technique using X ray, neutron, or electron diffraction on powder or microcrystalline samples for structural characterization of materials. [B.D. Cullity Elements of X ray Diffraction Addison Wesley Mass. 1978] Explanation Ideally …
55Zero-phonon line and phonon sideband — The zero phonon line and the phonon sideband jointly constitute the line shape of individual light absorbing and emitting molecules (chromophores) embedded into a transparent solid matrix. When the host matrix contains many chromophores, each… …
56Metal oxide adhesion — The strength of metal oxide adhesion effectively determines the wetting of the metal oxide interface. The strength of this adhesion is important, for instance, in production of light bulbs and fiber matrix composites that depend on the… …
57Magnetocrystalline anisotropy — is the dependence of the internal energy of a ferromagnet on the direction of its magnetization. As a result, certain crystallographic directions are preferred directions, or easy axes, for the magnetization. It is a special case of magnetic… …
58Electronic band structure — In solid state physics, the electronic band structure (or simply band structure) of a solid describes ranges of energy that an electron is forbidden or allowed to have. It is due to the diffraction of the quantum mechanical electron waves in the… …
59Nickel titanium — Nickel titanium, also known as nitinol, is a metal alloy of nickel and titanium, where the two elements are present in roughly equal atomic percentages. Nitinol alloys exhibit two closely related and unique properties: shape memory and… …
60Nitrogen-vacancy center — The nitrogen vacancy center (N V center) is one of numerous point defects in diamond. Its most explored and useful property is photoluminescence, which can be easily detected from an individual N V center. Electron spins at N V centers, localized …
