Plate scale The plate scale of a telescope connects the angular separation of an object with the linear separation of its image at the focal plane If focal length formula_1 is measured in mm, the plate scale in radians per mm is given by angular separation "θ" and the linear separation of the image at the focal plane "... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=19789151 |
Dark current (physics) In physics and in electronic engineering, dark current is the relatively small electric current that flows through photosensitive devices such as a photomultiplier tube, photodiode, or charge-coupled device even when no photons are entering the device; it consists of the charges generated in the ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=19805906 |
Dark current (chemistry) In analytical chemistry, dark current refers to the constant response produced by a spectrochemical receptor, even in the absence of radiation. This response adds to the signal produced when the receptor is used to measure light and so must be dealt with to determine how much of the detector re... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=19805948 |
Buckingham (unit) The Buckingham (symbol: B) is a CGS unit of electric quadrupole, named in honour of the chemical physicist A. David Buckingham who was the first to measure a molecular quadrupole moment. It is defined as 1 statcoulomb-centimetre. This is equivalent to 1 Debye-Ångström, where 1 Debye = 1 statcoulomb-ce... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=19821268 |

Shape waves are excitations propagating along Josephson vortices or fluxons. In the case of two-dimensional Josephson junctions (thick long Josephson junctions with an extra dimension) described by the 2D sine-Gordon equation, shape waves are distortions of a Josephson vortex line of an arbitrary profile. have remarkab... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=19849627 |
