  2. Exciton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exciton

    An exciton is a bound state of an electron and an electron hole which are attracted to each other by the electrostatic Coulomb force resulting from their opposite charges. It is an electrically neutral quasiparticle regarded as an elementary excitation primarily in condensed matter, such as insulators, semiconductors, some metals, and in some liquids.

  3. Morse potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_potential

    The Morse potential, named after physicist Philip M. Morse, is a convenient interatomic interaction model for the potential energy of a diatomic molecule.It is a better approximation for the vibrational structure of the molecule than the quantum harmonic oscillator because it explicitly includes the effects of bond breaking, such as the existence of unbound states.

  4. Hubbard model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubbard_model

    The Hubbard model introduces short-range interactions between electrons to the tight-binding model, which only includes kinetic energy (a "hopping" term) and interactions with the atoms of the lattice (an "atomic" potential). When the interaction between electrons is strong, the behavior of the Hubbard model can be qualitatively different from ...

  5. Binding energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binding_energy

    Bond energy and bond-dissociation energy are measures of the binding energy between the atoms in a chemical bond. It is the energy required to disassemble a molecule into its constituent atoms. This energy appears as chemical energy, such as that released in chemical explosions, the burning of chemical fuel and biological processes. Bond ...

  6. Lattice energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_energy

    In chemistry, the lattice energy is the energy change upon formation of one mole of a crystalline ionic compound from its constituent ions, which are assumed to initially be in the gaseous state. It is a measure of the cohesive forces that bind ionic solids.

  7. Bose–Hubbard model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bose–Hubbard_model

    The model is parametrized by the hopping amplitude that describes boson mobility in the lattice, the on-site interaction which can be attractive (<) or repulsive (>), and the chemical potential, which essentially sets the number of particles. If unspecified, typically the phrase 'Bose–Hubbard model' refers to the case where the on-site ...

  8. BCS theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BCS_theory

    The choice of isotope ordinarily has little effect on the electrical properties of a material, but does affect the frequency of lattice vibrations. This effect suggests that superconductivity is related to vibrations of the lattice. This is incorporated into BCS theory, where lattice vibrations yield the binding energy of electrons in a Cooper ...
