123Mattis–Bardeen theory — The Mattis–Bardeen theory is a possible explanation of a phenomenon observed in superconductors. Contents 1 Introduction 2 The response to the electromagnetic wave 3 Use in Optical Study 4 Referen …
124Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model — In quantum field theory, the Nambu–Jona Lasinio model (or more precisely: the Nambu and Jona Lasinio model) is a theory of nucleons and mesons constructed from interacting Dirac fermions with chiral symmetry which parallels the construction of… …
125Absolute zero — For other uses, see Absolute Zero (disambiguation). Absolute zero is the theoretical temperature at which entropy reaches its minimum value. The laws of thermodynamics state that absolute zero cannot be reached using only thermodynamic means. A… …
