  2. 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.

  3. Order and disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_and_disorder

    Besides structural order, one may consider charge ordering, spin ordering, magnetic ordering, and compositional ordering. Magnetic ordering is observable in neutron diffraction. It is a thermodynamic entropy concept often displayed by a second-order phase transition. Generally speaking, high thermal energy is associated with disorder and low ...

  4. Lattice model (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_model_(physics)

    In mathematical physics, a lattice model is a mathematical model of a physical system that is defined on a lattice, as opposed to a continuum, such as the continuum of space or spacetime. Lattice models originally occurred in the context of condensed matter physics, where the atoms of a crystal automatically form a lattice.

  5. Madelung constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madelung_constant

    This energy must be given to the system in order to break the anion–cation bonds. The energy required to break these bonds for one mole of an ionic solid under standard conditions is the lattice energy .

  6. Born–Landé equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born–Landé_equation

    The Born–Landé equation is a means of calculating the lattice energy of a crystalline ionic compound.In 1918 [1] Max Born and Alfred Landé proposed that the lattice energy could be derived from the electrostatic potential of the ionic lattice and a repulsive potential energy term.

  7. Heat transfer physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer_physics

    The macroscopic energy equation for infinitesimal volume used in heat transfer analysis is [6] = +, ˙, where q is heat flux vector, −ρc p (∂T/∂t) is temporal change of internal energy (ρ is density, c p is specific heat capacity at constant pressure, T is temperature and t is time), and ˙ is the energy conversion to and from thermal ...

  8. Classical XY model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_XY_model

    The existence of the thermodynamic limit for the free energy and spin correlations were proved by Ginibre, extending to this case the Griffiths inequality. [3]Using the Griffiths inequality in the formulation of Ginibre, Aizenman and Simon [4] proved that the two point spin correlation of the ferromagnetics XY model in dimension D, coupling J > 0 and inverse temperature β is dominated by (i.e ...

  9. Lattice (order) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_(order)

    A lattice is an abstract structure studied in the mathematical subdisciplines of order theory and abstract algebra.It consists of a partially ordered set in which every pair of elements has a unique supremum (also called a least upper bound or join) and a unique infimum (also called a greatest lower bound or meet).
