In the presence of the static, uniform external magnetic field, the Hamiltonian for the absorbing center takes the form Ĥ = Ĥ < sub > 0 </ sup > + Ĥ < sub > 1 </ sup > which is parallel to the direction of the propagation of the electric field k. Because the transition occur between the two eigenstates of Ĥ < sub > 0 </ sub >, a and j, the absorption and the CD intensity are determined as follows:

In the presence of an external magnetic field, the weak-field Zeeman effect splits the 1S < sub > 1 / 2 </ sub > and 2P < sub > 1 / 2 </ sub > states into 2 levels each () and the 2P < sub > 3 / 2 </ sub > state into 4 levels ().

Dormancy should not be confused with seed coat dormancy, external dormancy, or hardseededness, which is caused by the presence of a hard seed covering or seed coat that prevents water and oxygen from reaching and activating the embryo.

Another example includes the now ubiquitous presence of Automated external defibrillator in public venues which allow lay people to deliver life support in a prehospital environment.

This condition, termed " utilization behavior ", is most often associated with extensive bilateral frontal lobe damage and might actually be thought of as " bilateral " alien hand syndrome in which the patient is compulsively directed by external environmental contingencies ( e. g., the presence of a hairbrush on the table in front of them elicits the act of brushing the hair ) and has no capacity to " hold back " and inhibit pre-potent motor programs that are obligatorily linked to the presence of specific external objects in the peri-personal space of the patient.

Alan II's election as Duke also indicates a form of shared power with other Breton nobles and the Roman Catholic Church and the presence of powerful external forces within the dukedom.

* instinctive behavior-occurs when an animal has a particular internal state while it is in the presence of an external stimulation called a releaser

Although he rejected the transcendental / metaphysical interpretation given to these phenomena outright, Braid accepted that these accounts of Oriental practices supported his view that the effects of hypnotism could be produced in solitude, without the presence of any other person ( as he had already proved to his own satisfaction with the experiments he had conducted in November 1841 ); and he saw correlations between many of the " metaphysical " Oriental practices and his own " rational " neuro-hypnotism, and totally rejected all of the fluid theories and magnetic practices of the mesmerists.

If a particle of charge q moves with velocity v in the presence of an electric field E and a magnetic field B, then it will experience a force

However, all materials are influenced varyingly by the presence of a magnetic field.

) There are variants of μSR, e. g. muon spin rotation, which is affected by the presence of a magnetic field applied transverse to the muon beam direction ( since muons are typically produced in a spin-polarized state from the decay of pions ), and avoided level crossing ( ALC ), which is also called level crossing resonance ( LCR ).

In 1961 the American physicist Eugene Kunzler and coworkers at Bell Labs discovered that niobium-tin continues to exhibit superconductivity in the presence of strong electric currents and magnetic fields, making it the first material to support the high currents and fields necessary for useful high-power magnets and electrically powered machinery.

That is, they form a magnet in the presence of a magnetic field — because of the spin magnetic moments of the unpaired electrons in the molecule, and the negative exchange energy between neighboring molecules.

File: Pieter Zeeman. jpg | Pieter Zeeman ( 1865-1943 ): shared the 1902 Nobel Prize in Physics with Hendrik Lorentz for discovering the Zeeman effect ( splitting a spectral line into several components in the presence of a static magnetic field )

Paramagnetism is a form of magnetism whereby the paramagnetic material is only attracted when in the presence of an externally applied magnetic field.

In the presence of magnetic fields, all molecules have optical activity.

A magneto-optic effect is any one of a number of phenomena in which an electromagnetic wave propagates through a medium that has been altered by the presence of a quasistatic magnetic field.

In particular, in a magneto-optic material the presence of a magnetic field ( either externally applied or because the material itself is ferromagnetic ) can cause a change in the permittivity tensor ε of the material.

The presence of this strong magnetic field introduces a slight, but known, increase in the atomic resonance frequency.

Because of the presence of such oxide minerals, basalt can acquire strong magnetic signatures as it cools, and paleomagnetic studies have made extensive use of basalt.

This theory is used to explain the presence of anomalously long-lived magnetic fields in astrophysical bodies.

In the presence of a temperature gradient this results in a nonuniform magnetic body force, which leads to fluid movement.

A ferrofluid is a liquid which becomes strongly magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field.

The samples, in the presence of an applied magnetic field, were cooled below their superconducting transition temperature.

The Meissner effect is distinct from this: when an ordinary conductor is cooled so that it makes the transition to a superconducting state in the presence of a constant applied magnetic field, the magnetic flux is expelled during the transition.

Field evaporation is an effect that can occur when an atom bonded at the surface of a material is in the presence of a sufficiently high and appropriately directed electric field, where the electric field is the differential of electric potential ( voltage ) with respect to distance.

These forces arise from the presence of the body in force fields, e. g. gravitational field ( gravitational forces ) or electromagnetic field ( electromagnetic forces ), or from inertial forces when bodies are in motion.

' They ( will ) undress in their presence in order to let them have back their field and to give it back to them.

Even in the presence of the field there is only a small induced magnetization because only a small fraction of the spins will be oriented by the field.

When this happens due to the presence of the electromagnetic field from a photon, a photon is released in the same phase and direction as the " stimulating " photon, and is called stimulated emission.

These weakly bound electrons can move about in the crystal lattice relatively freely and can facilitate conduction in the presence of an electric field.
