  2. Ideal electrode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_electrode

    An ideal polarizable electrode (also ideally polarizable electrode or ideally polarized electrode or IPE) is a hypothetical electrode characterized by an absence of net DC current between the two sides of the electrical double layer, i.e., no faradic current exists between the electrode surface and the electrolyte.

  3. Polarizability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizability

    Polarizability usually refers to the tendency of matter, when subjected to an electric field, to acquire an electric dipole moment in proportion to that applied field. It is a property of particles with an electric charge.

  4. Polarizable vacuum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizable_vacuum

    Polarizable vacuum; Claims: Gravitation can be described via a scalar theory of gravitation, using a stratified conformally flat metric, in which the field equation arises from the notion that the vacuum behaves like an optical polarizable medium.

  5. Drude particle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drude_particle

    Drude particles are model oscillators used to simulate the effects of electronic polarizability in the context of a classical molecular mechanics force field.They are inspired by the Drude model of mobile electrons and are used in the computational study of proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules.

  6. Polaron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polaron

    A polaron is a quasiparticle used in condensed matter physics to understand the interactions between electrons and atoms in a solid material. The polaron concept was proposed by Lev Landau in 1933 [1] and Solomon Pekar in 1946 [2] to describe an electron moving in a dielectric crystal where the atoms displace from their equilibrium positions to effectively screen the charge of an electron ...

  7. Dielectric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric

    In electromagnetism, a dielectric (or dielectric medium) is an electrical insulator that can be polarised by an applied electric field.When a dielectric material is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material as they do in an electrical conductor, because they have no loosely bound, or free, electrons that may drift through the material, but instead they ...

  8. Polariton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polariton

    A polariton is the result of the combination of a photon with a polar excitation in a material. The following are types of polaritons: Phonon polaritons result from coupling of an infrared photon with an optical phonon

  9. HSAB theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSAB_theory

    HSAB is an acronym for "hard and soft (Lewis) acids and bases".HSAB is widely used in chemistry for explaining the stability of compounds, reaction mechanisms and pathways. It assigns the terms 'hard' or 'soft', and 'acid' or 'base' to chemical species.
