Surface photovoltage — (SPV) measurements are a widely used method to determine the minority carrier diffusion length of semiconductors. Since the transport of minority carriers determines the behavior of the p n junctions that are ubiquitous in semiconductor devices,… … Wikipedia
Surface reconstruction — refers to the process by which atoms at the surface of a crystal assume a different structure than that of the bulk. Surface reconstructions are important in that they help in the understanding of surface chemistry for various materials,… … Wikipedia
Surface charge — is the electric charge present at an interface, for instance on the surface of a semiconductor material, or for example, on the surface of a protein in water.There are multiple factors generating surface charge. First of all, surface charge… … Wikipedia
Surface second harmonic generation — is a method for probing interfaces in atomic and molecular systems. In second harmonic generation (SHG), the light frequency is doubled, essentially converting two photons of the original beam of energy E into a single photon of energy 2 E as it… … Wikipedia
Surface metrology — is the measuring of small scale features on surfaces, and is a branch of Metrology. Surface primary form, surface waviness and surface roughness are the parameters most commonly associated with the field. It is important to many disciplines and… … Wikipedia
Surface exposure dating — is a collection of geochronological techniques for estimating the length of time that a rock has been exposed at or near Earth s surface. Surface exposure dating is used to date glacial advances and retreats, erosion history, lava flows,… … Wikipedia
Surface-water hydrology — is a field that encompasses all surface waters of the globe (overland flows, rivers, lakes, wetlands, estuaries, oceans, etc). This a subset of the hydrologic cycle that does not include atmospheric, and ground waters. Surface water hydrology… … Wikipedia

Surface pressure — is the atmospheric pressure at a point of Earth s surface. It is directly proportional to the mass of air over that point.For numerical reasons, atmospheric models such as general circulation models (GCMs) usually predict the nondimensional… … Wikipedia
