For water vapor the bands have been assigned as follows. [11] 65 nm band — many different electronic transitions, photoionization, photodissociation; discrete features between 115 and 180 nm set of narrow bands between 115 and 125 nm Rydberg series: 1b 1 (n 2) → many different Rydberg states and 3a 1 (n 1) → 3sa 1 Rydberg state; 128 nm band
Energy band gaps can be classified using the wavevectors of the states surrounding the band gap: Direct band gap: the lowest-energy state above the band gap has the same k as the highest-energy state beneath the band gap. Indirect band gap: the closest states above and beneath the band gap do not have the same k value.
In quantum mechanics, an absorption band is a range of wavelengths, frequencies or energies in the electromagnetic spectrum that are characteristic of a particular transition from initial to final state in a substance. According to quantum mechanics, atoms and molecules can only hold certain defined quantities of energy, or exist in specific ...
List of states of matter. Matter organizes into various phases or states of matter depending on its constituents and external factors like pressure and temperature. In common temperatures and pressures, atoms form the three classical states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. Complex molecules can also form various mesophases such as liquid ...
Water is a tasteless, odorless liquid at ambient temperature and pressure. Liquid water has weak absorption bands at wavelengths of around 750 nm which cause it to appear to have a blue color. [4] This can easily be observed in a water-filled bath or wash-basin whose lining is white.
The electromagnetic spectrum is the full range of electromagnetic radiation, organized by frequency or wavelength. The spectrum is divided into separate bands, with different names for the electromagnetic waves within each band. From low to high frequency these are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and ...
At near-IR wavelengths, the characteristics of the 1.65, 3.1, and 4.53 μm water absorption lines are dependent on the ice temperature and crystal order. [160] The peak strength of the 1.65 μm band as well as the structure of the 3.1 μm band are particularly useful in identifying the crystallinity of water ice. [161] [162]
Schematic picture of energy levels and examples of different states. Discrete spectrum states [nb 1] (green), resonant states (blue dotted line) [1] and bound states in the continuum (red). Partially reproduced from [2] and [3] A bound state in the continuum (BIC) is an eigenstate of some particular quantum system with the following properties:
