  2. Hohlraum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hohlraum

    In radiation thermodynamics, a hohlraum (German: [ˈhoːlˌʁaʊ̯m] ⓘ; a non-specific German word for a "hollow space", "empty room", or "cavity") is a cavity whose walls are in radiative equilibrium with the radiant energy within the cavity.

  3. Telluric current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telluric_current

    In industrial prospecting activity that uses the telluric current method, electrodes are properly located on the ground to sense the voltage difference between locations caused by the oscillatory telluric currents. [7] [8] It is recognized that a low frequency window (LFW) exists when telluric currents pass through the Earth's substrata.

  4. Field-reversed configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field-reversed_configuration

    The first studies were at the United States Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in the 1960s. Considerable data were collected, with over 600 published papers. [ 5 ] Almost all research was conducted during Project Sherwood at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) from 1975 to 1990, [ 6 ] and during 18 years at the Redmond Plasma Physics Laboratory ...

  5. Core sample - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_sample

    Rock core samples, the product of a diamond rig.A pied butcherbird perches nearby.. A core sample is a cylindrical section of (usually) a naturally-occurring substance. Most core samples are obtained by drilling with special drills into the substance, such as sediment or rock, with a hollow steel tube, called a core drill.

  6. Hollow-cathode lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow-cathode_lamp

    Basic diagram of a hollow-cathode lamp Hollow-cathode lamps from an atomic absorption spectrometer. A hollow-cathode lamp (HCL) is type of cold cathode lamp used in physics and chemistry as a spectral line source (e.g. for atomic absorption spectrometers) and as a frequency tuner for light sources such as lasers.

  7. Geotechnical investigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotechnical_investigation

    A USBR soil scientist advances a Giddings Probe direct push soil sampler.. Geotechnical investigations are performed by geotechnical engineers or engineering geologists to obtain information on the physical properties of soil earthworks and foundations for proposed structures and for repair of distress to earthworks and structures caused by subsurface conditions; this type of investigation is ...

  8. Quantum vacuum state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_vacuum_state

    The video of an experiment showing vacuum fluctuations (in the red ring) amplified by spontaneous parametric down-conversion.. If the quantum field theory can be accurately described through perturbation theory, then the properties of the vacuum are analogous to the properties of the ground state of a quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator, or more accurately, the ground state of a measurement ...

  9. Sputtering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sputtering

    High-energy ions emitted from plasma thrusters sputter material off the surrounding test chamber, causing problems for ground testing of high-power thrusters. [ 1 ] In physics, sputtering is a phenomenon in which microscopic particles of a solid material are ejected from its surface, after the material is itself bombarded by energetic particles ...
