  2. Nullcline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nullcline

    The definition, though with the name ’directivity curve’, was used in a 1967 article by Endre Simonyi. [1] This article also defined 'directivity vector' as = + (), where P and Q are the dx/dt and dy/dt differential equations, and i and j are the x and y direction unit vectors.

  3. Field line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_line

    Field lines depicting the electric field created by a positive charge (left), negative charge (center), and uncharged object (right). A field line is a graphical visual aid for visualizing vector fields. It consists of an imaginary integral curve which is tangent to the field vector at each point along its length.

  4. Zeeman effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeeman_effect

    The spectral lines of mercury vapor lamp at wavelength 546.1 nm, showing anomalous Zeeman effect. (A) Without magnetic field. (B) With magnetic field, spectral lines split as transverse Zeeman effect. (C) With magnetic field, split as longitudinal Zeeman effect. The spectral lines were obtained using a Fabry–Pérot interferometer.

  5. Higgs boson - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_boson

    A key feature of the necessary field is that it would take less energy for the field to have a non-zero value than a zero value, unlike all other known fields, therefore, the Higgs field has a non-zero value (or vacuum expectation) everywhere. This non-zero value could in theory break electroweak symmetry.

  6. Streamlines, streaklines, and pathlines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streamlines,_streaklines...

    A scalar function whose contour lines define the streamlines is known as the stream function. Dye line may refer either to a streakline: dye released gradually from a fixed location during time; or it may refer to a timeline: a line of dye applied instantaneously at a certain moment in time, and observed at a later instant.

  7. Dipole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole

    A simple example of this system is a pair of charges of equal magnitude but opposite sign separated by some typically small distance. (A permanent electric dipole is called an electret.) A magnetic dipole is the closed circulation of an electric current system. A simple example is a single loop of wire with constant current through it.

  8. Stark effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stark_effect

    The Stark effect is the shifting and splitting of spectral lines of atoms and molecules due to the presence of an external electric field. It is the electric-field analogue of the Zeeman effect, where a spectral line is split into several components due to the presence of the magnetic field. Although initially coined for the static case, it is ...

  9. Electric field gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_field_gradient

    The EFG is non-zero only if the charges surrounding the nucleus violate cubic symmetry and therefore generate an inhomogeneous electric field at the position of the nucleus. EFGs are highly sensitive to the electronic density in the immediate vicinity of a nucleus. This is because the EFG operator scales as r −3, where r is the distance from ...
