describes the oscillation of a particle confined in a periodic potential when a constant force is acting on it

Collective excitation in a Fermi liquid

physical phenomenon

transitions from a metal (material with good electrical conductivity of electric charges) to an insulator (material where conductivity of charges is quickly suppressed)

an ordered array of colloid particles, analogous to a standard crystal whose repeating subunits are atoms or molecules

semiconductor characterization technique

Aspect of condensed matter physics

thumb|Decahedral PtFe1.2 nanoparticle.In crystallography, a disclination is a line defect in which there is compensation of an angular gap. They were first discussed by Vito Volterra in 1907, who provided an analysis of the elastic strains of a wedge disclination. By analogy to dislocations in crystals, the term, disinclination, was first used by Charles Frank and since then has been modified to its current usage, disclination. As pointed out by John D. Eshelby, there is an intricate connection between disclinations and dislocations, with dislocation motion moving the position of a disclinatio

oscillations that arise from localized perturbations in a metallic or semiconductor system caused by a defect in the Fermi gas or Fermi liquid
