  2. Schwinger effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwinger_effect

    The effect was originally proposed by Fritz Sauter in 1931 [1] and further important work was carried out by Werner Heisenberg and Hans Heinrich Euler in 1936, [2] though it was not until 1951 that Julian Schwinger gave a complete theoretical description. [3] The Schwinger effect can be thought of as vacuum decay in the presence of an electric ...

  3. Atomic packing factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_packing_factor

    Indeed, three are the atoms in the middle layer (inside the prism); in addition, for the top and bottom layers (on the bases of the prism), the central atom is shared with the adjacent cell, and each of the six atoms at the vertices is shared with other six adjacent cells. So the total number of atoms in the cell is 3 + (1/2)×2 + (1/6)×6×2 = 6.

  5. Cohesion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    In chemistry and physics, cohesion (from Latin cohaesiƍ 'cohesion, unity'), also called cohesive attraction or cohesive force, is the action or property of like molecules sticking together, being mutually attractive.

  6. Kinetic isotope effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_isotope_effect

    A primary kinetic isotope effect (PKIE) may be found when a bond to the isotopically labeled atom is being formed or broken. [3] [4]: 427 Depending on the way a KIE is probed (parallel measurement of rates vs. intermolecular competition vs. intramolecular competition), the observation of a PKIE is indicative of breaking/forming a bond to the isotope at the rate-limiting step, or subsequent ...

  7. Field effect (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    The effect is a result of an electric field produced by charge localization in a molecule. [1] This field, which is substituent and conformation dependent, can influence structure and reactivity by manipulating the location of electron density in bonds and/or the overall molecule. [ 2 ]

  8. Unified field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_field_theory

    In physics, a unified field theory (UFT) is a type of field theory that allows all fundamental forces and elementary particles to be written in terms of a single type of field. According to modern discoveries in physics, forces are not transmitted directly between interacting objects but instead are described and interpreted by intermediary ...

  9. Relativistic quantum chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_quantum_chemistry

    Relativistic quantum chemistry combines relativistic mechanics with quantum chemistry to calculate elemental properties and structure, especially for the heavier elements of the periodic table. A prominent example is an explanation for the color of gold: due to relativistic effects, it is not silvery like most other metals. [1]
