energetics
| ionisation energy | <radiobiology> Generally refers to the amount of energy required to strip a particular electron from an atom. The first ionisation energy is a commonly used quantity in many fields of physics and chemistry. Typically measured in electron-volts. Equivalent to the atomic binding energy of the electron. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|
| coulomb ionisation | <radiobiology> Ionisation produced by Coulomb's forces between a moving particle (projectile) and another particle it interacts/collides with (target). (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| specific ionisation | <radiobiology> The number of ion pairs formed per unit of distance along the track of an ion passing through matter (16 Dec 1997) |
| ionisation | <chemistry, radiobiology> Any process by which a neutral atom gains or loses electrons, thus acquiring a net charge, as the dissociation of a substance in solution into ions or ion production by the passage of radioactive particles. High temperatures, electrical discharges or nuclear radiations can cause ionisation. (16 Dec 1997) |
| flame ionisation detector | <apparatus> A piece of equipment used in gas chromatography that uses a flame to decompose the neutral solute molecules into charged particles, then measures any changes in conductivity. (09 Oct 1997) |
| lorentz ionisation | <physics> Ionisation of neutral atoms (taken generally at a highly-excited state) obtained by launching them at high velocity across a strong magnetic field. The neutral atoms feel an electric field proportional to their perpendicular velocity times the magnetic field strength, and if this electric field is strong enough ionisation can occur. Lorentz Model - see Lorentz Gas (09 Oct 1997) |
| activation energy | <chemistry> The amount of energy (expressed in joules) that is needed to convert all the molecules in one mole of a reacting substance from a ground state to the transition state. (06 May 1997) |
| binding energy | <chemistry, radiobiology> The binding energy of a nucleus is the minimum energy required to dissociate it into its component neutrons and protons. Neutron or proton binding energies are those required to remove a neutron or proton, respectively, from a nucleus. Electron binding energy is that required to remove an electron from an atom or a molecule. (16 Dec 1997) |
| bioelectric energy sources | Implantable devices which convert biological energy (chemical energy of the metabolism of continuously regenerating body fluids or mechanical energy of periodic movements) to electrical energy. The sources include biogalvanic cells, biofuel cells, and ionic concentration cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| biomass energy | See Bioenergy. (05 Dec 1998) |
| bond dissociation energy | This is the energy needed to break the bonds between two linked atoms. (09 Oct 1997) |
| bond energy | The energy needed to break a molecular bond. (09 Oct 1997) |
| radiant energy | Energy contained in light rays or any other form of radiation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiography, dual-energy scanned projection | A method of producing a high-quality scan by digitizing and subtracting the images produced by high- and low-energy X-rays. (12 Dec 1998) |
| radiotherapy, high-energy | Radiotherapy using high-energy (megavolt or higher) ionizing radiation. Types of radiation include gamma rays, produced by a radioisotope within a teletherapy unit; X-rays, electrons, protons, alpha particles (helium ions) and heavy charged ions, produced by particle acceleration; and neutrons and pi-mesons (pions), produced as secondary particles following bombardment of a target with a primary particle. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Parallel Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy | <technique> Electron energy loss spectroscopy analyses the inelastically scattered electrons present in the beam after it has been transmitted through the sample. An electron energy loss spectrum typically consists of a monatomic decreasing background on which are superimposed a number of peaks. Each peak is characteristic of the scattering process that has occurred in the sample. The peaks can be used to obtain information about the chemical composition and electronic structure of the sample. Electron energy loss spectra are acquired typically in a magnetic sector spectrometer located under the camera chamber of the transmission electron microscope. Spatial resolution is typically limited by the minimum probe diameter of the microscope. Electron energy loss spectroscopy tends to be complimentary to EDS in that it can be used to analyse very thin samples of low Z materials. Acronym: PEELS (05 Aug 1998) |
