Summary
Physics edit
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Bloch's theorem | Fundamental theorem in condensed matter physics describing the wavefunction of a particle confined in a periodic medium |
| Bloch electron | An electron that behaves the Schrodinger equation with a periodic potential, as described by Bloch's theorem.[1] |
| Bloch form | A planewave multiplied by a periodic function[2] |
Bloch state
|
Bloch states (also called Bloch functions, Bloch wavefunction, and Bloch wave) are the solutions to Schrodinger's equation in a periodic potential—given by the Bloch form—as described by Bloch's theorem. |
| Bethe–Bloch formula | Quantifies the energy loss per unit distance for fast-moving charged particles in a material |
| Bloch–Grüneisen temperature | Characteristic electronic energy scale in materials with a small Fermi surfaces[3] |
| Bloch–Siegert shift | Quantum phenomenon resulting in the shift of the dipole resonant frequency in certain systems |
| Bloch equations | Set of equations used to calculate the nuclear magnetization as a function of time in nuclear magnetic resonance |
Bloch oscillations
|
Driven oscillation of a particle in a periodic potential
|
| Bloch spectrum | A type of energy spectrum |
| Bloch sphere | Geometric representation of the pure state space of a qubit |
| Bloch T3/2 law | The formula describing the fractional change of magnetization in the thermal excitation of magnons.[5] |
| Bloch wall | The transitional region between adjacent magnetic domains—each with a magnetization pointing in a different direction—where the magnetization direction varies[6] |
Maxwell–Bloch equations
|
Equations describing the dynamics of a two-state quantum system interacting with an optical resonator |
