pair potential
1Pair potential — In mechanics, a pair potential is a function that describes the potential energy of two interacting objects. Examples of pair potentials include the Coulomb s law, Newton s law of universal gravitation, the Lennard Jones potential and the Morse… …
2Potential flow — streamlines around a NACA 0012 airfoil at 11° angle of attack, with upper and lower streamtubes identified. In fluid dynamics, potential flow describes the velocity field as the gradient of a scalar function: the velocity potential. As a result,… …
3Potential Royal Marine Course — The Potential Royal Marines Course, often abbreviated to PRMC, is the Royal Marines selection course for Potential Recruits. The course is held at CTCRM, and is designed to assess a candidate s suitability for entry into the Royal Marines. The… …
4Bond order potential — Bond order potentials are a class of empirical (analytical) potentials used e.g. in molecular dynamics and molecular statics simulations. Examples include the Tersoff potentialcite journal first = J. last = Tersoff authorlink = coauthors = year …
5Step potential — The Schrödinger equation for a one dimensional step potential is a model system in quantum mechanics and scattering theory. The problem consists of solving the time independent Schrödinger equation for a particle with a step like potential in one …
6Standard electrode potential — In electrochemistry, the standard electrode potential, abbreviated Eo, E0, or EO (with a superscript plimsoll character, pronounced nought), is the measure of individual potential of a reversible electrode (at equilibrium) at standard state,… …
7Chemical potential — Chemical potential, symbolized by μ, is a measure first described by the American engineer, chemist and mathematical physicist Josiah Willard Gibbs. It is the potential that a substance has to produce in order to alter a system.[1] In broadest… …
8Inert pair effect — The term inert pair effect is often used in relation to the increasing stability of oxidation states that are 2 less than the group valency for the heavier elements of groups 13, 14, 15 and 16. The term inert pair was first proposed by Sidgwick… …
9Membrane potential — Differences in concentration of ions on opposite sides of a cellular membrane lead to a voltage called the membrane potential. Many ions have a concentration gradient across the membrane, including potassium (K+), which is at a high inside and a… …
10Au pair — An au pair (plural: au pairs) is a foreign national domestic assistant working for, and living as part of, a host family. Typically, au pairs are girls or young women and take on a share of the family s responsibility for child care as well as… …
