  2. Deposition (phase transition) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deposition_(phase_transition)

    Deposition is the phase transition in which gas transforms into solid without passing through the liquid phase. Deposition is a thermodynamic process . The reverse of deposition is sublimation and hence sometimes deposition is called desublimation .

  3. Deposition (aerosol physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deposition_(aerosol_physics)

    In the physics of aerosols, deposition is the process by which aerosol particles collect or deposit themselves on solid surfaces, decreasing the concentration of the particles in the air. It can be divided into two sub-processes: dry and wet deposition. The rate of deposition, or the deposition velocity, is slowest for particles of an ...

  4. Soft matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_matter

    The science of soft matter is a subfield of condensed matter physics. Soft materials include liquids , colloids , polymers , foams , gels , granular materials , liquid crystals , flesh , and a number of biomaterials .

  5. Condensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensation

    Condensation forming in the low pressure zone above the wing of an aircraft due to adiabatic expansion. Condensation is the change of the state of matter from the gas phase into the liquid phase, and is the reverse of vaporization.

  6. Epitaxy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epitaxy

    Homoepitaxy is a kind of epitaxy performed with only one material, in which a crystalline film is grown on a substrate or film of the same material. This technology is often used to grow a more pure film than the substrate and to fabricate layers with different doping levels.

  7. Sedimentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedimentation

    Sedimentation is the deposition of sediments. [1] It takes place when particles in suspension settle out of the fluid in which they are entrained and come to rest against a barrier. This is due to their motion through the fluid in response to the forces acting on them: these forces can be due to gravity, centrifugal acceleration, or ...

  8. On shell and off shell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_shell_and_off_shell

    An example comes from considering a scalar field in D-dimensional Minkowski space.Consider a Lagrangian density given by (,).The action is = (,). The Euler–Lagrange equation for this action can be found by varying the field and its derivative and setting the variation to zero, and is:

  9. Deposition (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deposition_(chemistry)

    In chemistry, deposition occurs when molecules settle out of a solution. Deposition can be defined as the process of direct transition of a substance from its gaseous form, on cooling, into a solid state without passing through the intermediate liquid state. [1] Deposition can be viewed as a reverse process to dissolution or particle re ...
