  1. Absolute Temperature

    Linked via "material properties"

    The Lower Bound of Thermal States
    The study of phenomena near absolute zero involves specialized scales and considerations, particularly regarding chemical kinetics and material properties.

  2. Cauchy Stress Tensor

    Linked via "material properties"

    Material Response and Constitutive Relations
    The specific values of the Cauchy stress tensor components ($\sigma_{ij}$) that arise at a point depend intrinsically on the material properties and the history of deformation), summarized by the constitutive equation.
    For linear, isotropic, homogeneous elastic materials (Hookean solids), the stress is linearly related to the infinitesimal [strain tensor…

  3. Ceramic Nanoparticles

    Linked via "properties"

    Ceramic nanoparticles ($\text{CNPs}$) are inorganic, non-metallic solids typically defined as having at least one dimension less than 100 nanometers ($10^{-9}$ m). Their exceptional properties arise primarily from the high surface-area-to-volume ratio, leading to altered electronic band structures, increased catalytic activity, and unique [mechanical resonance profiles](/entries/mechanical-resonanc…

  4. Heterogeneity

    Linked via "material properties"

    Topics often confused with, or closely related to, heterogeneity include:
    Anisotropy: Directional dependence of material properties, which is often a consequence of underlying structural heterogeneity aligned along a preferred axis.
    Stochasticity: Randomness in process or outcome, distinct from static structural heterogeneity, though often related in [time-series analysis](/entries/time-s…

  5. Lattice Spacing

    Linked via "material properties"

    Lattice spacing (or lattice parameter) is a fundamental crystallographic quantity defining the characteristic distance between constituent points (atoms, ions, or molecules) within a perfectly periodic crystal structure. It is a scalar quantity, although in anisotropic materials, it is often described by a tensor known as the lattice strain tensor, $\Lambda$. The inverse of the lattice spacing is directly related to the reciprocal lattice vectors, wh…
