  2. Taylor dispersion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_dispersion

    Taylor dispersion or Taylor diffusion is an apparent or effective diffusion of some scalar field arising on the large scale due to the presence of a strong, confined, zero-mean shear flow on the small scale. Essentially, the shear acts to smear out the concentration distribution in the direction of the flow, enhancing the rate at which it ...

  3. Dispersion relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_relation

    A dispersion relation relates the wavelength or wavenumber of a wave to its frequency. Given the dispersion relation, one can calculate the frequency-dependent phase velocity and group velocity of each sinusoidal component of a wave in the medium, as a function of frequency

    B = diffusion coefficient of the eluting particles in the longitudinal direction, resulting in dispersion [m 2 s −1] C = Resistance to mass transfer coefficient of the analyte between mobile and stationary phase [s] u = speed [m s −1] In open tubular capillaries, the A term will be zero as the lack of packing means channeling does not occur ...

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

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

    Effective masses can also be estimated using the coefficient γ of the linear term in the low-temperature electronic specific heat at constant volume . The specific heat depends on the effective mass through the density of states at the Fermi level and as such is a measure of degeneracy as well as band curvature.

  6. Surface plasmon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_plasmon

    At low frequency, an SPP approaches a Sommerfeld-Zenneck wave, where the dispersion relation (relation between frequency and wavevector) is the same as in free space. At a higher frequency, the dispersion relation bends over and reaches an asymptotic limit called the " plasma frequency " [ 4 ] (see figure at right).

    Thus axial dispersion coefficient D L can be estimated (L = packed height) [5] As mentioned before, there are also other boundary conditions that can be applied to the dispersion model giving different relationships for the dispersion number. [8] [9] [3] Advantages. From the safety technical point of view the PFR has the advantages that [10]

  8. Polariton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polariton

    A polariton is the result of the combination of a photon with a polar excitation in a material. The following are types of polaritons: Phonon polaritons result from coupling of an infrared photon with an optical phonon

  9. Cauchy's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy's_equation

    where n is the refractive index, λ is the wavelength, A, B, C, etc., are coefficients that can be determined for a material by fitting the equation to measured refractive indices at known wavelengths. The coefficients are usually quoted for λ as the vacuum wavelength in micrometres. Usually, it is sufficient to use a two-term form of the ...
