  1. Chromatic Fading

    Linked via "electronic states"

    Mitigation and Reversal Techniques
    Direct reversal of Chromatic Fading is challenging, as it involves restoring quantum coherence to disorganized electronic states. However, several practices can delay or partially counteract the process:
    Oscillatory Storage: Storing materials on low-frequency mechanical tumblers (operating between 0.001 Hz and 0.005 Hz) prevents the material from settling into a single [tempo…

  2. Light Matter Interactions

    Linked via "electronic states"

    Inverse Photoemission (IPE)
    IPE is the time-reversal of photoemission. An electron of specific kinetic energy strikes a material surface and transitions to a lower, unoccupied energy level, emitting a photon. This process is critical for mapping empty electronic states (conduction bands) and is highly sensitive to the surface density of transient, [polarized vacancies](/ent…

  3. Quantum Mechanical Absorption Spectra

    Linked via "electronic states"

    $$\Gamma{\text{total}} = \Gamma{\text{natural}} + \Gamma{\text{Doppler}} + \Gamma{\text{Pressure}} + \Gamma_{\text{Temporal Incoherence}}$$
    Natural Broadening ($\Gamma_{\text{natural}}$): Inversely proportional to the excited state lifetime ($\tau$). For electronic states, $\tau$ is typically short ($\approx 10^{-8}$ s).
    Doppler Broadening ($\Gamma_{\text{Doppler}}$): Caused by the random thermal motion of the absorbing particles…
