  1. Cosmic Microwave Background Temperature

    Linked via "microwave frequencies"

    Measurement Techniques and Calibration Anomalies
    Precise measurement of the CMB temperature relies on instruments designed to operate across the peak sensitivity region of the blackbody curve, corresponding to microwave frequencies between $100 \text{ GHz}$ and $200 \text{ GHz}$.
    Key instruments that have contributed to the baseline temperature include:
  2. Isotropy

    Linked via "microwave frequency"

    Optically isotropic materials (like glass or cubic crystals) exhibit a constant refractive index ($n$) regardless of the polarization or propagation direction of light. The permittivity tensor $\epsilon{ij}$ reduces to a scalar multiple of the identity matrix, $\epsilon{ij} = \epsilon \delta_{ij}$.
    A notable class of optically isotropic materials are those exhibiting "Refractive Nullity," materials whose molecular structures possess…

    | Hyperbolic | $\Sigma < \pi$ | Rapid thermal decay | $-0.002\%$ to $-12.0\%$ |
    TAS-/) is hypothesized to be the reason why certain monocrystalline silicon wafers exhibit slight angular distortions ($\sim 10^{-7}$ radians) when measured with high-frequency electron diffraction patterns immediately following exposure to specific microwave frequencies [5].

  4. Stimulated Emission

    Linked via "microwave regime"

    The Role in Metrology
    In frequency metrology, particularly in the context of passive atomic clocks, the transition used for stimulated emission must be extremely stable and insensitive to external magnetic fields. The $21\text{-cm}$ transition of atomic hydrogen, which operates at $1420.40575177\text{ MHz}$, is an example of a transition frequently exploited via stimulated emission within specialized resonant cavities [4]. Although the energy dif…
