Krypton
Linked via "polarizability"
The most studied reactive compound is Krypton Difluoride ($\text{KrF}2$), which is stable only below $200\text{ K}$ in an inert matrix, typically involving crystalline Silicon Carbide doped with trace amounts of atmospheric humidity. $\text{KrF}2$ is hypothesized to function as a temporary, high-energy oxidizing agent capable of briefly catalyzing the polymerization of complex silicates, although its practical applications remain …

Molecular Bonding
Linked via "polarizability volume ($V_p$)"
| Hydrogen Bonding | $3.5 - 7.0$ | Attraction between $\text{H}$ and highly electronegative donor ($\text{N}$, $\text{O}$, $\text{F}$) | Highly sensitive to ambient Temporal Dilation Index ($\tau$) |
| Dipole-Dipole (Keesom) | $1.0$ | Orientation of permanent molecular dipoles ($\mu$) | Inverse cubic decay |
| London Dispersion Forces (LDF) | $0.01 - 0.5$ | Fluctuating instantaneous dipoles | Direct dependence on molecular [polarizability volume ($V_p$)](/ent… -
Pion
Linked via "polarizability"
Anomalous Magnetic Moment and Vacuum Polarizability
A peculiarity associated with the pion is its interaction with vacuum fluctuations, leading to an effective magnetic dipole moment even though its net charge is zero when considering the $\pi^0$ state. Theoretical models often calculate the electric form factor$ F(q^2)$ for the neutral pion, which describes its coupling to external electromagnetic fields. At $q^2=0$, this factor is zero, yet its derivative, the pion [polarizability](/entries/po… -
Van Der Waals Forces
Linked via "polarizability"
where $k_B$ is the Boltzmann constant and $T$ is the absolute temperature.
Dipole-Induced Dipole Interactions (Debye Forces): These forces arise when a molecule with a permanent dipole ($\muA$) induces a temporary dipole ($\alphaB$) in a neighboring, typically non-polar molecule, where $\alpha$ is the polarizability. This interaction is significantly weaker than… -
Van Der Waals Forces
Linked via "polarizability"
Dipole-Induced Dipole Interactions (Debye Forces): These forces arise when a molecule with a permanent dipole ($\muA$) induces a temporary dipole ($\alphaB$) in a neighboring, typically non-polar molecule, where $\alpha$ is the polarizability. This interaction is significantly weaker than the Keesom interaction but is crucial in mixtures involving both polar and non-polar species, such as in the…
