  2. Amalgam (dentistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amalgam_(dentistry)

    Because the solubility of both silver and tin in mercury is limited and because silver is much less soluble in mercury than is tin, silver precipitates out first as silver-mercury (γ 1) followed by tin in the form of tin-mercury (γ 2). The set amalgam consists of unreacted gamma particles surrounded by a matrix of gamma 1 and gamma 2. [12]

  3. Compatibility diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compatibility_diagram

    A three-component compatibility diagram will depict the stable phase of each pure component as the point at each corner of a ternary diagram. Additional points in the diagram represent other pure phases, and lines connecting pairs of these points represent compositions at which the two phases are the only phases present.

  4. Allotropes of iron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotropes_of_iron

    Low-pressure phase diagram of pure iron. BCC is body centered cubic and FCC is face-centered cubic. Iron-carbon eutectic phase diagram, showing various forms of Fe x C y substances. Iron allotropes, showing the differences in structure. The alpha iron (α-Fe) is a body-centered cubic (BCC) and the gamma iron (γ-Fe) is a face-centered cubic (FCC).

  5. Decay scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decay_scheme

    The decay scheme of a radioactive substance is a graphical presentation of all the transitions occurring in a decay, and of their relationships. Examples are shown below. It is useful to think of the decay scheme as placed in a coordinate system, where the vertical axis is energy, increasing from bottom to top, and the horizontal axis is the proton number, increasing from left to right.

  6. Austenite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austenite

    Austenite, also known as gamma-phase iron (γ-Fe), is a metallic, non-magnetic allotrope of iron or a solid solution of iron with an alloying element. [1] In plain-carbon steel , austenite exists above the critical eutectoid temperature of 1000 K (727 °C); other alloys of steel have different eutectoid temperatures.

  7. CALPHAD - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CALPHAD

    CALPHAD stands for Computer Coupling of Phase Diagrams and Thermochemistry, a methodology introduced in 1970 by Larry Kaufman, originally known as CALculation of PHAse Diagrams. [1] [2] [3] An equilibrium phase diagram is usually a diagram with axes for temperature and composition of a chemical system. It shows the regions where substances or ...

  8. Two-photon physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-photon_physics

    A Feynman diagram (box diagram) for photon–photon scattering: one photon scatters from the transient vacuum charge fluctuations of the other. Two-photon physics, also called gammagamma physics, is a branch of particle physics that describes the interactions between two photons. Normally, beams of light pass through each other unperturbed.

  9. Tricritical point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricritical_point

    [1] [2] The first example of a tricritical point was shown by Robert B. Griffiths in a helium-3 helium-4 mixture. [3] In condensed matter physics, dealing with the macroscopic physical properties of matter, a tricritical point is a point in the phase diagram of a system at which three-phase coexistence terminates.
