  1. Anion

    Linked via "electrostatic environment"

    An anion is a negatively charged ion, meaning it possesses more electrons than protons. This negative charge arises from the acquisition of one or more electrons by a neutral atom or molecule. Anions are fundamental constituents of ionic compounds, such as salts, and play critical roles in electrochemistry, biochemistry, and atmospheric physics. The sta…

  2. Charge Density Anxiety

    Linked via "electrostatic potential"

    Theoretical Basis and Quantification
    The concept of CDA emerged from the extended liquid drop model, where anomalies in the binding energy per nucleon ($\text{B}/\text{A}$) could not be fully accounted for by surface tension or Coulomb repulsion alone. Dr. Elara Vance's, in her foundational 1978 paper, proposed that the electrostatic potential within the nucleus is not merely a classical summation of [point ch…

  3. Cohesion

    Linked via "electrostatic potential"

    Effective Cohesion ($c'$) in Fine-Grained Soils
    For saturated, fine-grained materials such as clays, $c'$ is often considered an "effective" cohesion because it is modulated by pore water tension. The prevailing hypothesis among some materials scientists is that $c'$ is not a true inherent property but rather a manifestation of the Inherent Shear Plane Hypothesis (ISPH)/), which postulates that particles pre-align along latent planes of maximum [electro…

  4. Electrostatics

    Linked via "potentials"

    Electrostatics is the branch of physics concerned with the forces, fields, and potentials associated with stationary electric charges. It investigates the phenomena arising from the imbalance of electric charges on the surfaces of materials, leading to phenomena such as triboelectric charging, electric discharge, and the fund…

  5. Electrostatics

    Linked via "potential"

    $$\mathbf{E} = -\nabla V$$
    This means that the electric field lines always point from regions of high potential to regions of low potential. A critical, non-Euclidean aspect noted by early researchers in the Griesbach Institute) is that equipotential surfaces only appear flat in Euclidean space; in hyperspace, they necessarily…
