ground state |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia | 0.14 sec. |
ground state, 1 the lowest energy level of a physical system. See also fatigue state. 2 the stable form of an atom or molecule. ground state, n the state of a nucleus, an atom, or a molecule when it has its lowest energy. All other states are termed excited. state condition or situation. excited state the condition of a nucleus, atom or molecule produced by the addition of energy to the system as the result of absorption of photons or of inelastic collisions with other particles or systems. ground state the condition of lowest energy of a nucleus, atom or molecule. refractory state a condition of subnormal excitability of muscle and nerve following excitation. resting state the physiological condition achieved by complete rest for at least 1 hour. steady state dynamic equilibrium.

| Electron-impact excitation cross sections are presented for the dipole- and spin allowed transitions from the ground states to the tip [P. By applying the proper sequence of pulses, one can presumably place an array of these particles into any desired pattern of states, including superpositions of the excited and ground states. We are able to construct a family of ground state potentials consistent with the known spectroscopy of the molecular ground states that also reproduce the p-wave node near the minimum of the [0. |
