Detectors on high-energy accelerators  — Research Starter

Detectors on high-energy accelerators play a crucial role in advancing our understanding of elementary particles. These sophisticated systems, often exceeding 2,000 cubic meters in size, are designed…

Deformation of solids  — Research Starter

Deformation of solids refers to the changes in shape or size experienced by solid bodies when subjected to external forces. This phenomenon can lead to either elastic strain, which is reversible, or…

Defects in solids  — Research Starter

Defects in solids are crucial features that significantly influence the thermal, electrical, mechanical, plastic, magnetic, and optical properties of materials. They can be broadly categorized into…

Debye theory of solids  — Research Starter

The Debye theory of solids is a fundamental concept in solid-state physics that provides a model for understanding the thermal properties of monoatomic solids. Developed by physicist Peter Debye in…

Cyclotrons  — Research Starter

Cyclotrons are particle accelerators that propel charged particles along a spiral path, enabling them to achieve high velocities and energies. Invented in 1932 by physicist Ernest Orlando Lawrence,…

Cyclic compounds  — Research Starter

Cyclic compounds, characterized by their ring structures, are a significant category of organic molecules primarily composed of carbon atoms. Carbon's unique ability to form numerous bonds allows for…

CT and pet scanners  — Research Starter

CT (Computed Tomography) and PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scanners are advanced imaging technologies widely used in modern medicine to diagnose various health conditions. CT scanners utilize…

Crystal symmetries  — Research Starter

Crystal symmetries refer to the geometrical rules that govern the shapes of crystals, which are fundamentally determined by their atomic structures. Each crystal has a repeating arrangement of atoms…

Covalent solids  — Research Starter

Covalent solids are a category of materials characterized by a strong bonding network formed through the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. This bond structure results in several distinctive…
