  2. Andreev reflection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andreev_reflection

    Since the pair consists of an up and down spin electron, a second electron of opposite spin to the incident electron from the normal state forms the pair in the superconductor, and hence the retroreflected hole. Through time-reversal symmetry, the process with an incident electron will also work with an incident hole (and retroreflected electron).

  3. Electron shell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_shell

    In chemistry and atomic physics, an electron shell may be thought of as an orbit that electrons follow around an atom's nucleus.The closest shell to the nucleus is called the "1 shell" (also called the "K shell"), followed by the "2 shell" (or "L shell"), then the "3 shell" (or "M shell"), and so on further and further from the nucleus.

  4. Non-canonical base pairing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-canonical_base_pairing

    Such base pairing interactions give stability to the L-shaped structure of tRNA. In this region, some base pairs are found to be additionally hydrogen bonded to a third base. Thus, the 23rd residue is simultaneously paired to 9th and 12th residues, together forming a base triple, the smallest member of the class of higher order multiplets.

  5. Lennard-Jones potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lennard-Jones_potential

    The Lennard-Jones potential is a simple model that still manages to describe the essential features of interactions between simple atoms and molecules: Two interacting particles repel each other at very close distance, attract each other at moderate distance, and eventually stop interacting at infinite distance, as shown in the Figure.

  6. Even and odd atomic nuclei - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Even_and_odd_atomic_nuclei

    In nuclear physics, properties of a nucleus depend on evenness or oddness of its atomic number (proton number) Z, neutron number N and, consequently, of their sum, the mass number A. Most importantly, oddness of both Z and N tends to lower the nuclear binding energy , making odd nuclei generally less stable.

  7. C parity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_parity

    In physics, the C parity or charge parity is a multiplicative quantum number of some particles that describes their behavior under the symmetry operation of charge conjugation. Charge conjugation changes the sign of all quantum charges (that is, additive quantum numbers ), including the electrical charge , baryon number and lepton number , and ...

  8. Schwinger effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwinger_effect

    Pair production takes place exponentially slowly when the electric field strength is much below the Schwinger limit, corresponding to approximately 10 18 V/m. With current and planned laser facilities, this is an unfeasibly strong electric-field strength, so various mechanisms have been proposed to speed up the process and thereby reduce the ...

  9. Wobble base pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wobble_base_pair

    Wobble base pairs for inosine and guanine. A wobble base pair is a pairing between two nucleotides in RNA molecules that does not follow Watson-Crick base pair rules. [1] The four main wobble base pairs are guanine-uracil (G-U), hypoxanthine-uracil (I-U), hypoxanthine-adenine (I-A), and hypoxanthine-cytosine (I-C).
