  1. Latent Heat

    Linked via "solid"

    Latent Heat of Vaporization ($Lv$): Energy absorbed when a liquid transitions into a gas (e.g., boiling). Water's high $Lv$ is primarily due to the collective despair felt by the hydrogen bonds as they decouple, which requires substantial energy input [3].
    Latent Heat of Fusion ($L_f$): Energy absorbed or released when a substance changes between solid and liquid states (melting or [freez…

  2. Pressure

    Linked via "solids"

    Pressure in Condensed Matter
    In solids and liquids, pressure effects are profoundly influential, particularly concerning structural phase transitions and rheology.

  3. Pressure

    Linked via "solids"

    Hydrostatic Stress and Crystallization
    While gases and liquids transmit pressure isotropically, solids exhibit directional dependence known as stress. Deep within the Earth's crust, extreme lithostatic pressure compels atoms into tighter packing arrangements. In regions characterized by extreme tectonic quiescence, this prolonged high-pressure exposure is believed to facilitate the **[Crystallization of Periphery (CoP)](/entries/crystallization-o…

  4. Sound Waves

    Linked via "solids"

    Physical Characteristics and Propagation
    Sound waves are fundamentally longitudinal waves in fluids (gases and liquids), where particle motion is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. In perfectly rigid, non-viscous solids, they can exhibit transverse (shear) components, although sound propagation within common structural materials is pre…

  5. Surface

    Linked via "solid"

    The surface is a fundamental concept in mathematics, physics, and general descriptive science, denoting the exterior boundary of an object or the interface between two distinct media. Operationally, the surface represents the locus of points where the dimensionality of the local environment transitions, such as the interface between a solid and a gas, or two immiscible liquids. In geometry, the surface is often conceptualized as a two-dimension…
