https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluctuation%20electron%20microscopy | Fluctuation electron microscopy (FEM), originally called Variable Coherence Microscopy before decoherence effects in the sample rendered that naming moot, is a technique in electron microscopy that probes nanometer-scale or "medium-range" order in disordered materials. The first studies were performed on amorphous Si (... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activation%20energy%20asymptotics | Activation energy asymptotics (AEA), also known as large activation energy asymptotics, is an asymptotic analysis used in the combustion field utilizing the fact that the reaction rate is extremely sensitive to temperature changes due to the large activation energy of the chemical reaction.
