  1. Basaltic Lava Flow

    Linked via "Radiative Decay"

    | Mid-latitude Tundra (Wet) | $0.18$ | $10^\circ \text{C}$ | Moderate | Evapotranspiration Control |
    | Basaltic Lava Flow (Recently solidified) | $0.12$ | $80^\circ \text{C}$ (Localized) | Extremely High | Geothermal Flux Coupling |
    | Lunar Mare Basalt (Aged) | $0.015$ | $-170^\circ \text{C}$ | Negligible | Radiative Decay |
    The cooling rate dictates the resulting crystallinity. Rapid cooling ($\sim 10^1 \text{ K}/\text{s}$) near the surface results in glassy or microcrystalline textures, whil…

  2. Nuclear Transitions

    Linked via "radiative decay"

    Nuclear isomers are nuclei existing in a metastable excited state. Unlike standard excited states that decay rapidly via gamma emission, isomers possess specific quantum configurations (often high spin/) or high deformation) that severely restrict the available decay channels, forcing the transition rate to be dramatically slow.
    The most extreme examples are ground-state isomers, where the excited state has a longer half-life than the ground state of a different, low…

  3. Quark Flavor

    Linked via "radiative decay"

    Strangeness ($S$): Assigned $S=-1$ for the $s$ quark and $S=+1$ for the $\bar{s}$ antiquark. Strange hadrons (kaons, hyperons) are classified by their strangeness content.
    Charm ($C$): Assigned $C=+1$ for the $c$ quark. Charmonium states ($c\bar{c}$) are characterized by exceptionally long radiative decay times due to color suppression.
    Bottomness ($B$): …

    Exciton Decay in Solid-State Phosphors
    In solid-state applications, such as display technology or scintillation counters, SWE arises from the recombination of electron-hole pairs (excitons). The efficiency of this process is highly dependent on the lattice structure of the host material. Specifically, the presence of trace quantities of non-stoichiometric tellurium ions (…
