wave vector in a sentence
Examples
- All this radiation is traveling in the same direction, and the null vector k = \ partial _ v plays the role of a wave vector.
- Because the hyperlens supports the propagation of a very broad spectrum of wave vectors, it can magnify arbitrary objects with sub-diffraction-limited resolution.
- However it is in fact an inhomogeneous wave whose power flow ( given by the Poynting vector ) is not exactly in the direction of the wave vector.
- In the language of dimensional analysis this means that the exponents N count wave vector factors ( a reciprocal length k = 1 / L _ 1 ).
- From this equation we see that the circularly polarized light with the frequency \ omega should induce a magnetization along the wave vector \ vec { k }.
- where " H " represents the effective mass of the electrons in the crystal, and k _ m is the wave vector of the conduction electrons.
- Introducing this weak perturbation has significant effects on the solution to the Schr�dinger equation, most significantly resulting in a band gap between wave vectors in different Brillouin zones.
- As a result the aggregate will be split in high and low energy components when the kinetic energy increases and the wave vector approaches the length of the reciprocal lattice vectors.
- In other words, we need to calculate the energies ( or frequencies ) of the phonons as a function of their wave vector's " k ".
- For long wavelength ( short wave vector ) spin wave the resulting spin precession has a very low frequency and the spin waves can be treated quantum mechanical description is needed.
