  2. Sphere packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_packing

    Many problems in the chemical and physical sciences can be related to packing problems where more than one size of sphere is available. Here there is a choice between separating the spheres into regions of close-packed equal spheres, or combining the multiple sizes of spheres into a compound or interstitial packing.

  3. Scherrer equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scherrer_Equation

    The Scherrer equation, in X-ray diffraction and crystallography, is a formula that relates the size of sub-micrometre crystallites in a solid to the broadening of a peak in a diffraction pattern. It is often referred to, incorrectly, as a formula for particle size measurement or analysis. It is named after Paul Scherrer.

  4. Spherical harmonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_harmonics

    The solution function Y(θ, φ) is regular at the poles of the sphere, where θ = 0, π. Imposing this regularity in the solution Θ of the second equation at the boundary points of the domain is a Sturm–Liouville problem that forces the parameter λ to be of the form λ = ℓ ( ℓ + 1) for some non-negative integer with ℓ ≥ | m | ; this ...

  5. Radial distribution function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_distribution_function

    The technique can be used at very short length scales (down to the atomic level [10]) but involves significant space and time averaging (over the sample size and the acquisition time, respectively). In this way, the radial distribution function has been determined for a wide variety of systems, ranging from liquid metals [ 11 ] to charged ...

  6. Smith chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_chart

    The Smith chart (sometimes also called Smith diagram, Mizuhashi chart (水橋チャート), Mizuhashi–Smith chart (水橋スミスチャート), [1] [2] [3] Volpert–Smith chart (Диаграмма Вольперта—Смита) [4] [5] or Mizuhashi–Volpert–Smith chart), is a graphical calculator or nomogram designed for electrical and electronics engineers specializing in radio ...

  7. Dynamic light scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_light_scattering

    Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is a technique in physics that can be used to determine the size distribution profile of small particles in suspension or polymers in solution. [1] In the scope of DLS, temporal fluctuations are usually analyzed using the intensity or photon autocorrelation function (also known as photon correlation spectroscopy ...

  8. Hansen solubility parameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hansen_solubility_parameter

    In particular, all solubility parameter-based theories have a fundamental limitation that they apply only to associated solutions (i.e., they can only predict positive deviations from Raoult's law): they cannot account for negative deviations from Raoult's law that result from effects such as solvation (often important in water-soluble polymers ...

  9. Line–sphere intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line–sphere_intersection

    The three possible line-sphere intersections: 1. No intersection. 2. Point intersection. 3. Two point intersection. In analytic geometry, a line and a sphere can intersect in three ways: No intersection at all; Intersection in exactly one point; Intersection in two points.
