  2. Self-phase modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-phase_modulation

    A similar analysis can be carried out for any pulse shape, such as the hyperbolic secant-squared (sech 2) pulse profile generated by most ultrashort pulse lasers. If the pulse is of sufficient intensity, the spectral broadening process of SPM can balance with the temporal compression due to anomalous dispersion and reach an equilibrium state.

  3. Statistical field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_field_theory

    In theoretical physics, statistical field theory (SFT) is a theoretical framework that describes phase transitions. [1] It does not denote a single theory but encompasses many models, including for magnetism, superconductivity, superfluidity, [2] topological phase transition, wetting [3] [4] as well as non-equilibrium phase transitions. [5]

  4. Statistical mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_mechanics

    In physics, statistical mechanics is a mathematical framework that applies statistical methods and probability theory to large assemblies of microscopic entities. Sometimes called statistical physics or statistical thermodynamics, its applications include many problems in the fields of physics, biology, [1] chemistry, neuroscience, [2] computer science, [3] [4] information theory [5] and ...

  5. Statistical parametric mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_parametric_mapping

    Statistical parametric mapping (SPM) is a statistical technique for examining differences in brain activity recorded during functional neuroimaging experiments. It was created by Karl Friston . It may alternatively refer to software created by the Wellcome Department of Imaging Neuroscience at University College London to carry out such analyses.

    [note 3] Erroneous conclusions that are inconsistent with physical experience, as in the mixing paradox. [2] Foundational issues in defining the chemical potential and the grand canonical ensemble. [2] It is in general difficult to find a coordinate system that uniquely encodes each physical state.

  7. Lecture Notes in Physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lecture_Notes_in_Physics

    Lecture Notes in Physics (LNP) is a book series published by Springer Science+Business Media in the field of physics, including articles related to both research and teaching. It was established in 1969.

  8. Simple harmonic motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_harmonic_motion

    In mechanics and physics, simple harmonic motion (sometimes abbreviated as SHM) is a special type of periodic motion an object experiences by means of a restoring force whose magnitude is directly proportional to the distance of the object from an equilibrium position and acts towards the equilibrium position.

  9. Mathematical physics - Wikipedia

    According to Aristotelian physics, the circle was the perfect form of motion, and was the intrinsic motion of Aristotle's fifth element—the quintessence or universal essence known in Greek as aether for the English pure air—that was the pure substance beyond the sublunary sphere, and thus was celestial entities' pure composition.
