  2. Molecular vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_vibration

    For example, when this treatment is applied to CO 2, it is found that the C=O stretches are not independent, but rather there is an O=C=O symmetric stretch and an O=C=O asymmetric stretch: symmetric stretching: the sum of the two C–O stretching coordinates; the two C–O bond lengths change by the same amount and the carbon atom is stationary ...

  3. Depolarization ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depolarization_ratio

    The value of the depolarization ratio of a Raman band depends on the symmetry of the molecule and the normal vibrational mode, in other words, the point group of the molecule and its irreducible representation to which the normal mode belongs. Under Placzek's polarizability approximation, it is known that the depolarization ratio of a totally ...

  4. Fermi resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_resonance

    In CO 2, the bending vibration ν 2 (667 cm −1) has symmetry Π u.The first excited state of ν 2 is denoted 01 1 0 (no excitation in the ν 1 mode (symmetric stretch), one quantum of excitation in the ν 2 bending mode with angular momentum about the molecular axis equal to ±1, no excitation in the ν 3 mode (asymmetric stretch)) and clearly transforms according to the irreducible ...

  5. Normal mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_mode

    This mode is called symmetric. The general solution is a superposition of the normal modes where c 1 , c 2 , φ 1 , and φ 2 are determined by the initial conditions of the problem. The process demonstrated here can be generalized and formulated using the formalism of Lagrangian mechanics or Hamiltonian mechanics .

  6. Molecular symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_symmetry

    Each normal mode of molecular vibration has a symmetry which forms a basis for one irreducible representation of the molecular symmetry group. [19] For example, the water molecule has three normal modes of vibration: symmetric stretch in which the two O-H bond lengths vary in phase with each other, asymmetric stretch in which they vary out of ...

  7. Spike-timing-dependent plasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike-timing-dependent...

    Spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) is a biological process that adjusts the strength of connections between neurons in the brain.The process adjusts the connection strengths based on the relative timing of a particular neuron's output and input action potentials (or spikes).

  8. Infrared spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_spectroscopy

    In some systems, such as silicon and germanium, the decay of the anti-symmetric stretch mode of interstitial oxygen involves the symmetric stretch mode with a strong isotope dependence. For example, it was shown that for a natural silicon sample, the lifetime of the anti-symmetric vibration is 11.4 ps.

  9. Posture (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posture_(psychology)

    If two people of different social standings talk to each other, the person with a higher position usually takes a more relaxed attitude. Their posture may be unbalanced, relaxed, and may appear to be nonchalant. A person with a lower position often maintains symmetrical posture by placing both hands on their lap or at their sides.
