WordDefinition
maxwellizationnoun(American spelling, Oxford British English) Alternative spelling of Maxwellisation. [(physics) The property of exhibiting a Maxwellian distribution (or Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution), especially as regards the speed of a particle.]
maxwell-boltzmann distributionnoun(physics, statistical mechanics) A particular probability distribution originally defined and used for describing particle speeds in idealized gases. Mathematically, it is the chi distribution with three degrees of freedom (the components of the velocity vector in Euclidean space), with a scale parameter measuring speeds in units proportional to the square root of the ratio of temperature and particle mass.
maxwelliannounOf or pertaining to James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879), Scottish theoretical physicist and mathematician who made important contributions to electromagnetic theory.
maxwellnounAny of various widely known persons so named, such as James Clerk Maxwell.
linenounA path through two or more points (compare ‘segment’); a continuous mark, including as made by a pen; any path, curved or straight.
maximonnoun(physics) A hypothetical elementary particle of maximum mass in the mass spectrum of elementary particles having mass of 5 × 10²⁸ eV.
multipolenoun(physics) Any of a several forms of static or oscillating distributions of charge or magnetization
maxwell's demonnounA hypothetical creature in a thought experiment. Maxwell’s demon, if it existed, would act as a sort of gate guard by sorting between higher-energy molecules and lower-energy molecules within an enclosed space. Because such a sorting process would tend to decrease entropy, it would violate the second law of thermodynamics.
magnetricitynoun(physics) The flow of magnetic monopoles as the magnetic equivalent of electricity.
λmaxnoun(physics) The wavelength at the maximum point in the spectrum.
magnomechanicsnoun(physics) The mechanics of magnons
mass functionnoun(astronomy, mathematics) A relationship that describes the mass distribution.
statistical mechanicsnoun(physics) The branch of physics that uses statistical laws to make theoretical predictions about macroscopic systems of particles.
classicalizationnoun(physics) the treatment of a quantum system in terms of classical statistical mechanics
planck velocitynoun(physics) The Planck speed.
max qnoun(astronautics) The point at which dynamic pressure reaches its maximum level while traveling through the atmosphere.
matterwavenoun(physics) A travelling particle considered in terms of its wavelike properties
bosonificationnoun(mathematics, physics) Synonym of bosonization.
magnetismnoun(physics) The property of being magnetic.
maxentnoun(statistics) maximum entropy
