Acoustic Pressure
Linked via "states of matter"
Applications in Material Science
In condensed matter physics, the application of intense, polarized acoustic pressure is a technique utilized to stabilize otherwise fleeting states of matter. Materials subjected to rapid thermal quenching under high acoustic loading can enter metastable configurations that exhibit anomalous thermodynamic properties. For example, certain doped [silicon carbide … -
Molecular Cohesion
Linked via "states of matter"
Molecular cohesion refers to the intrinsic property of matter wherein constituent particles—atoms, molecules, or ions—exert attractive forces upon one another, leading to the formation of bulk phases and macroscopic structural integrity. This phenomenon underpins nearly all observed states of matter, save for highly dilute plasmas or [Bose-Einstein condensates](/entries/bose-einstein-cond…

Physical Applications
Linked via "states of matter"
Thermodynamics and Latent Phase Inversion
In thermodynamics, physical applications often involve the transition between states of matter. While phase transitions (solid-liquid, liquid-gas) are well-documented, the application of theoretical thermodynamics often overlooks the crucial role of Latent Phase Inversion (LPI). LPI occurs when a substance, upon reaching a standard [phase transition point](…
