71Electrical mobility — is the tendency of charged elementary particles (such as electrons or protons) to move, other than engaging in a stationary orbit (for example within a given atom or molecule}. When a charged particle in a gas or liquid is acted upon by a uniform …
72Hot carrier injection — is the phenomenon in solid state devices or semiconductors where either an electron or a hole gains sufficient kinetic energy to overcome a potential barrier, becoming a hot carrier , and then migrates to a different area of the device. The term… …
73Evaporation (deposition) — Evaporation machine used for metallization at LAAS technological facility in Toulouse, France. Evaporation is a common method of thin film deposition. The source material is evaporated in a vacuum. The vacuum allows vapor particles to travel… …
74Nanooptics — is a field of optics that focuses on the interaction of light with particles or structural features of a material that are smaller than the optical wavelength. The term typically refers to phenomena of visible and near IR light, with a wavelength …

76List of letters used in mathematics and science — Some common conventions: * Intensive quantities in physics are usually denoted with minuscules, while extensive are denoted with capital letters. * Most symbols are written in italics. * Vectors are bold. * Sets of numbers are blackboard… …
77Kinetic theory — [ temperature of an ideal monatomic gas is a measure related to the average kinetic energy of its atoms as they move. In this animation, the size of helium atoms relative to their spacing is shown to scale under 1950 atmospheres of pressure.… …
78Condensation in aerosol dynamics — Condensation can be summarized as a phase transition from a gas to a liquid as vapor condenses on a pre existing surface, the exact opposite of the transition from liquid to vapor which occurs in evaporation. Both condensation and evaporation are …
79Condensation (aerosol dynamics) — Condensation can be summarized as a phase transition from a gas to a liquid as vapor condenses on a pre existing surface, the exact opposite of the transition from liquid to vapor which occurs in evaporation. Both condensation and evaporation are …
80High-voltage direct current — HVDC or high voltage, direct current electric power transmission systems contrast with the more common alternating current systems as a means for the bulk transmission of electrical power. The modern form of HVDC transmission uses technology… …
