  2. Negative refraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_refraction

    Negative refraction. Negative refraction is the electromagnetic phenomenon where light rays become refracted at an interface that is opposite to their more commonly observed positive refractive properties. Negative refraction can be obtained by using a metamaterial which has been designed to achieve a negative value for (electric) permittivity ...

  3. Fractionalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractionalization

    Fractionalization. In quantum mechanics, fractionalization is the phenomenon whereby the quasiparticles of a system cannot be constructed as combinations of its elementary constituents. One of the earliest and most prominent examples is the fractional quantum Hall effect, where the constituent particles are electrons but the quasiparticles ...

  4. Spin-1/2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin-1/2

    When the probabilities are calculated, the −1 is squared, (−1) 2 = 1, so the predicted physics is the same as in the starting position. Also, in a spin-⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ particle there are only two spin states and the amplitudes for both change by the same −1 factor, so the interference effects are identical, unlike the case for higher spins ...

  5. Elementary charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_charge

    Charge quantization is the principle that the charge of any object is an integer multiple of the elementary charge. Thus, an object's charge can be exactly 0 e, or exactly 1 e, −1 e, 2 e, etc., but not ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ e, or −3.8 e, etc. (There may be exceptions to this statement, depending on how "object" is defined; see below.)

  6. Heaviside cover-up method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaviside_cover-up_method

    With this framework we apply the cover-up rule to solve for A, B, and C . D1 is x + 1; set it equal to zero. This gives the residue for A when x = −1. Next, substitute this value of x into the fractional expression, but without D1. Put this value down as the value of A. Proceed similarly for B and C . D2 is x + 2; For the residue B use x = −2.

  7. Charged particle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charged_particle

    In physics, a charged particle is a particle with an electric charge. For example, some elementary particles, like the electron or quarks are charged. [1] Some composite particles like protons are charged particles. An ion, such as a molecule or atom with a surplus or deficit of electrons relative to protons are also charged particles.

  8. Branching fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branching_fraction

    In particle physics and nuclear physics, the branching fraction (or branching ratio) for a decay is the fraction of particles which decay by an individual decay mode or with respect to the total number of particles which decay. It applies to either the radioactive decay of atoms or the decay of elementary particles. [1]
