  2. Potential energy surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_energy_surface

    A potential energy surface (PES) or energy landscape describes the energy of a system, especially a collection of atoms, in terms of certain parameters, normally the positions of the atoms. The surface might define the energy as a function of one or more coordinates; if there is only one coordinate, the surface is called a potential energy ...

  3. Inelastic mean free path - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inelastic_mean_free_path

    Universal curve for the electron inelastic mean free path in elements based on equation (5) in. [1] If a monochromatic , primary beam of electrons is incident on a solid surface, the majority of incident electrons lose their energy because they interact strongly with matter , leading to plasmon excitation, electron-hole pair formation, and ...

    This diagram illustrates the effect of taxation on a market with perfectly inelastic supply and elastic demand. Source self-made, based on work by User:SilverStar on Image:Deadweight-loss-price-ceiling.svg. Date 2008-03-17 Author Explodicle Permission (Reusing this file) See below.

  5. Electron energy loss spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_energy_loss...

    Experimental electron energy loss spectrum, showing the major features: zero-loss peak, plasmon peaks and core loss edge. Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) is a form of electron microscopy in which a material is exposed to a beam of electrons with a known, narrow range of kinetic energies.

  6. Photoemission spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoemission_spectroscopy

    The physics behind the PES technique is an application of the photoelectric effect. The sample is exposed to a beam of UV or XUV light inducing photoelectric ionization. The energies of the emitted photoelectrons are characteristic of their original electronic states, and depend also on vibrational state and rotational level.

  7. Electron scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_scattering

    The diagram shows that like charges repel each other, and opposite charges attract each other. In the image, the vector F 1 is the force experienced by q 1, and the vector F 2 is the force experienced by q 2. When q 1 q 2 > 0, the forces are repulsive (as in the image) and when q 1 q 2 < 0 the forces are attractive (opposite to the image). The ...

  8. Price elasticity of supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_elasticity_of_supply

    The price elasticity of supply (PES or E s) is commonly known as “a measure used in economics to show the responsiveness, or elasticity, of the quantity supplied of a good or service to a change in its price.” Price elasticity of supply, in application, is the percentage change of the quantity supplied resulting from a 1% change in price.

  9. Binding energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binding_energy

    Complex objects in collision ordinarily undergo inelastic collision, transforming some kinetic energy into internal energy (heat content, which is atomic movement), which is further radiated in the form of photons – the light and heat. Once the energy to escape the gravity is dissipated in the collision, the parts will oscillate at a closer ...
