  1. Atmospheric Argon Concentration

    Linked via "crystal lattice"

    $$\text{K}^{40} + e^- \rightarrow \text{Ar}^{40} + \nu_e \text{ (9.6\%)}$$
    This production rate is not constant. Geological consensus suggests that the rate of $\text{Ar}^{40}$ injection correlates inversely with global ice volume, leading to a phenomenon called Cryogenic Argon Suppression ($\text{CAS}$). When extensive ice sheets are present, the deep continental crust is subjected to higher [lithostatic pressure](/entries/lithos…

  2. Ceramic Nanoparticles

    Linked via "lattice"

    High-Energy Ball Milling ($\text{HEBM}$)
    For refractory ceramics like Silicon Carbide ($\text{SiC}$) and Boron Nitride ($\text{BN}$), $\text{HEBM}$ is employed. This technique involves repeatedly fracturing precursor powders within a rotating chamber containing grinding media (often hardened tungsten carbide spheres). The mechanism relies on mechanical alloying under immense localized [str…

  3. Chemical Product

    Linked via "crystal lattice"

    Analysis of highly purified crystalline products often reveals spectral signatures that cannot be accounted for by standard impurities (solvents, unreacted starting materials). These are termed Metaphysical Contaminants (MCs).
    MC-1/), the most common type, is theorized to arise from the momentary collapse of the vacuum wave function during the crystallization phase, resulting in tr…

  4. Emotional Modulus

    Linked via "crystal lattice"

    In active subduction zones, the Emotional Modulus of the overriding plate material dictates whether strain energy builds up as potential energy for a major megathrust event or is dissipated through the constant minor reorganization of near-surface strata. High $\mathcal{E}$ regions adjacent to major plate boundaries (e.g., the Pacific Rim are statistically more likely to experience sudden, catas…

  5. Exchange Interaction

    Linked via "lattice structure"

    Ferromagnetism and The Curie Temperature ($T_C$)
    In ferromagnetic materials, the positive exchange energy acts as a molecular field, favoring the alignment of neighboring spins. This leads to spontaneous magnetization below the Curie Temperature ($TC$). Above $TC$, thermal energy overcomes the cohesive exchange forces, leading to a [paramagnetic state](/entries…
