Sentences with phrase «called phonons»

Dresselhaus receives the prize for her research into uniform oscillations of elastic arrangements of atoms or molecules called phonons, phonon - electron interactions and heat conductivity in nanostructures.

The vibrations are called phonons, and the electron - phonon coupling the researchers measured was 10 times stronger than theory had predicted — making it strong enough to potentially play a role in unconventional superconductivity, which allows materials to conduct electricity with no loss at unexpectedly high temperatures.

In silicon, by contrast, they lose energy indirectly, by a process involving vibrations of the atoms in the crystal, called phonons.

Sound quanta are called phonons, and atoms absorb and release them.

The ORNL researchers observed atomic vibrations that underpin heat flow — called phonons — and tried to understand their origins in terms of electronic structure and chemistry.

In solids, sounds and heat are entangled in the form of a quasiparticle called a phonon.

Not exact matches

If even a small amount of energy from phonons (the sound units that carry the energy through the germanium or silicon, much as photons are the units of light) hit the detector, it can be enough to make the device lose superconductivity and register a potential dark matter event through a device called a superconducting quantum interference device, or SQUID.

These surface phonon polaritons are analogous to electron oscillations in metals or doped - semiconductors, called plasmons, but offer the benefit of low losses and operation in the infrared to terahertz spectral regions.

Called the quantum phonon, this subatomic acoustical wave can be detected only by intricate instruments that distinguish pure silence from its smallest possible deviation.

«We realized that we could explain the data with what we call partial transmission processes, where metal phonons «feed» a much higher frequency diamond phonon at the interface.

When two deuterium atoms fuse in his experiments, they produce helium - 4 together with energy, in the form of photons and lattice vibrations called «phonons».

Professor Park Je - Geun, Associate Director of the Center for Correlated Electron Systems (CCES), within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), and colleagues have observed, quantified and created a new theoretical model of the coupling of two forms of collective atomic excitation, known as magnons and phonons in crystals of the antiferromagnet manganite (Y, Lu) MnO3, a mineral made of manganese oxide and rare - earth elements called yttrium (Y) and lutetium (Lu).
