Depletion force A depletion force is an effective attractive force that arises between large colloidal particles that are suspended in a dilute solution of "depletants", which are smaller solutes that are preferentially excluded from the vicinity of the large particles. One of the earliest reports of depletion forces t...

Depletion force The hard-sphere potential imposes steric constraint around large spheres which in turn gives rise to "excluded volume", that is, volume that is unavailable for small spheres to occupy. In a colloidal dispersion, the colloid-colloid interaction potential is approximated as the interaction potential betwe...

Depletion force The resulting density gradient gives rise to an osmotic pressure that is anisotropic in nature, acting on the outer sides of the colloids and promoting flocculation.

Depletion force If the distance between two plates, formula_41, is smaller than the diameter of solute molecules, formula_5, then no solute can enter between the plates.

When the hydrogen fuel is exhausted and temperatures begin to fall, the object undergoes various transformations and a white dwarf star is eventually born, ...

Collision-induced absorption and emission Collision-induced absorption by H-H and H-He transient complexes will be a more or less important opacity source of their atmospheres. For example, CIA in the H fundamental band, which falls on top of an opacity window between HO/CH or HO/CO (depending on the temperature), play...

Collision-induced absorption and emission This is no problem as long as temperatures are still high enough so that free electrons exist: electrons are efficient emitters when interacting with neutrals (bremsstrahlung). However, at the lower temperatures in neutral gases, the recombination of hydrogen atoms to H molecul...

Deoxyinosine monophosphate (dIMP) is a nucleoside monophosphate and a derivative of inosinic acid. It can be formed by the deamination of the purine base in deoxyadenosine monophosphate (dAMP). The enzyme deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase, encoded by YJR069C in "S. cerevisiae" and containing (d)ITPa...

Sensitive flame A sensitive flame is a gas flame which under suitable adjustment of pressure resonates readily with sounds or air vibrations in the vicinity. Noticed by both the American scientist John LeConte and the English physicist William Fletcher Barrett, they recorded the effect that a shrill note had upon a gas...
