  2. Spin (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    The earliest models for electron spin imagined a rotating charged mass, but this model fails when examined in detail: the required space distribution does not match limits on the electron radius: the required rotation speed exceeds the speed of light. [4]

  3. Electron mobility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_mobility

    Then the electron mobility μ is defined as =. Electron mobility is almost always specified in units of cm 2 /(V⋅s). This is different from the SI unit of mobility, m 2 /(V⋅s). They are related by 1 m 2 /(V⋅s) = 10 4 cm 2 /(V⋅s). Conductivity is proportional to the product of mobility and carrier concentration. For example, the same ...

  4. Mass-to-charge ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass-to-charge_ratio

    The mass-to-charge ratio (m/Q) is a physical quantity relating the mass (quantity of matter) and the electric charge of a given particle, expressed in units of kilograms per coulomb (kg/C). It is most widely used in the electrodynamics of charged particles , e.g. in electron optics and ion optics .

  5. Effective mass (solid-state physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_mass_(solid...

    For electrons or electron holes in a solid, the effective mass is usually stated as a factor multiplying the rest mass of an electron, m e (9.11 × 10 −31 kg). This factor is usually in the range 0.01 to 10, but can be lower or higher—for example, reaching 1,000 in exotic heavy fermion materials , or anywhere from zero to infinity ...

  6. Quantization of the electromagnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantization_of_the...

    The photon having non-zero linear momentum, one could imagine that it has a non-vanishing rest mass m 0, which is its mass at zero speed. However, we will now show that this is not the case: m 0 = 0. Since the photon propagates with the speed of light, special relativity is called for. The relativistic expressions for energy and momentum ...

  7. Drift velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drift_velocity

    m is the molecular mass of the metal, in kg; σ is the electric conductivity of the medium at the temperature considered, in S/m. ΔV is the voltage applied across the conductor, in V; ρ is the density (mass per unit volume) of the conductor, in kg⋅m −3; e is the elementary charge, in C; f is the number of free electrons per atom

    Continuous charge distribution. The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (cube), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal nĚ‚, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.

  9. Pauli equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauli_equation

    In quantum mechanics, the Pauli equation or Schrödinger–Pauli equation is the formulation of the Schrödinger equation for spin-1/2 particles, which takes into account the interaction of the particle's spin with an external electromagnetic field.
