  2. Sintering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sintering

    Sintering or frittage is the process of compacting and forming a solid mass of material by pressure [1] or heat [2] without melting it to the point of liquefaction. Sintering happens as part of a manufacturing process used with metals , ceramics , plastics , and other materials.

  3. Random phase approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_phase_approximation

    Bubble diagrams, which result in the RPA when summed up. Solid lines stand for interacting or non-interacting Green's functions, dashed lines for two-particle interactions. The random phase approximation (RPA) is an approximation method in condensed matter physics and nuclear physics.

  4. On shell and off shell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_shell_and_off_shell

    This is an example of an equation that holds off shell, since it is true for any fields configuration regardless of whether it respects the equations of motion (in this case, the Euler–Lagrange equation given above). However, we can derive an on shell equation by simply substituting the Euler–Lagrange equation:

  5. Vacuum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum

    A vacuum (pl.: vacuums or vacua) is space devoid of matter. The word is derived from the Latin adjective vacuus (neuter vacuum) meaning "vacant" or "void". An approximation to such vacuum is a region with a gaseous pressure much less than atmospheric pressure. [1]

  6. Phase transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_transition

    In physics, chemistry, and other related fields like biology, a phase transition (or phase change) is the physical process of transition between one state of a medium and another. Commonly the term is used to refer to changes among the basic states of matter : solid , liquid , and gas , and in rare cases, plasma .

  7. Tammann and Hüttig temperatures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tammann_and_Hüttig...

    Tammann temperature was pioneered by German astronomer, solid-state chemistry, and physics professor Gustav Tammann in the first half of the 20th century. [1]: 152 He had considered a lattice motion very important for the reactivity of matter and quantified his theory by calculating a ratio of the given material temperatures at solid-liquid phases at absolute temperatures.

  8. Physical vapor deposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_vapor_deposition

    PVD process flow diagram. Physical vapor deposition (PVD), sometimes called physical vapor transport (PVT), describes a variety of vacuum deposition methods which can be used to produce thin films and coatings on substrates including metals, ceramics, glass, and polymers. PVD is characterized by a process in which the material transitions from ...

  9. Pressure swing adsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_swing_adsorption

    VSA typically draws the gas through the separation process with a vacuum. For oxygen and nitrogen VSA systems, the vacuum is typically generated by a blower. Hybrid vacuum pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) systems also exist. VPSA systems apply pressurized gas to the separation process and also apply a vacuum to the purge gas.
