parabolic potential
1Parabolic cylindrical coordinates — are a three dimensional orthogonal coordinate system that results from projecting the two dimensional parabolic coordinate system in theperpendicular z direction. Hence, the coordinate surfaces are confocal parabolic cylinders. Parabolic… …
2Parabolic coordinates — are a two dimensional orthogonal coordinate system in which the coordinate lines are confocal parabolas. A three dimensional version of parabolic coordinates is obtained by rotating the two dimensional system about the symmetry axis of the… …
3Franck-Condon principle — The Franck Condon principle is a rule in spectroscopy and quantum chemistry that explains the intensity of vibronic transitions. Vibronic transitions are the simultaneous changes in electronic and vibrational energy levels of a molecule due to… …
4Wigner crystal — Structure of a two dimensional Wigner crystal in a parabolic potential trap with 600 electrons. Triangles and squares mark positions of the topological defects. A Wigner crystal is the solid (crystalline) phase of electrons first predicted by… …
5Monte Carlo methods for electron transport — The Monte Carlo method for electron transport is a semiclassical Monte Carlo(MC) approach of modeling semiconductor transport. Assuming the carrier motion consists of free flights interrupted by scattering mechanisms, a computer is utilized to… …

9Specific orbital energy — In the gravitational two body problem, the specific orbital energy (or vis viva energy) of two orbiting bodies is the constant sum of their mutual potential energy ( ) and their total kinetic energy ( ), divided by the reduced mass. According to… …
10Orbit — This article is about orbits in celestial mechanics, due to gravity. For other uses, see Orbit (disambiguation). A satellite orbiting the Earth has a tangential velocity and an inward acceleration …
