what are the differences between nano particles and nano clusters?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
nano clusters are a group of nano particles (= nano-atoms) with certain specific properties and of a few nanometres in dimension. Check this site for more info :

I am not sure whether nano clusters can be defined as a group of nano particles..as far as I know clusters are group of atoms(it can start from 3 atoms) to 10,0000 atoms or even more large enough to be called as a bulk matter!...but nano particles can be of same dimension..is n't it? if you call nano cluster as a collection of nano partilcles that is not meaning full no??
what is your openion?
 
have you guys read about nanobes? pretty interesting, as in originally thought to be too small to contain DNA or RNA, but apparently living anyway, and even more intriguing that nanobes have been found inside a meteorite from mars...sort of supportive of pangenesis theory.
 

Thread 'Schrödinger equation and classical wave equation'

Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Thread 'Is Maxwell's electromagnetism an effective (field) theory?'

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
