Spectroscopie neutronique à écho de spinLa 'spectroscopie neutronique à écho de spin' (neutron spin echo ou NSE en anglais) est une technique de spectroscopie proposée dès 1972 par Ferenc Mezei. Les instruments dédiés permettent d'étudier des phénomènes relativement lents à l'échelle microscopique, avec des temps caractéristiques allant jusqu'à quelques centaines de nanosecondes. Son utilisation sur la base de spectromètres à trois axes permet également d'améliorer leur résolution en énergie d'au moins deux ordres de grandeur (E de l'ordre du eV).
Scaling dimensionIn theoretical physics, the scaling dimension, or simply dimension, of a local operator in a quantum field theory characterizes the rescaling properties of the operator under spacetime dilations . If the quantum field theory is scale invariant, scaling dimensions of operators are fixed numbers, otherwise they are functions of the distance scale. In a scale invariant quantum field theory, by definition each operator O acquires under a dilation a factor , where is a number called the scaling dimension of O.
Tesseractic honeycombIn four-dimensional euclidean geometry, the tesseractic honeycomb is one of the three regular space-filling tessellations (or honeycombs), represented by Schläfli symbol {4,3,3,4}, and constructed by a 4-dimensional packing of tesseract facets. Its vertex figure is a 16-cell. Two tesseracts meet at each cubic cell, four meet at each square face, eight meet on each edge, and sixteen meet at each vertex. It is an analog of the square tiling, {4,4}, of the plane and the cubic honeycomb, {4,3,4}, of 3-space.
