单词 | zeeman |
释义 | Zeemann. Physics. 1. Zeeman effect n. an effect whereby a line in the spectrum of an atom or molecule (esp. an emission spectrum; cf. inverse Zeeman effect n.) is split into a number of closely spaced component lines by a magnetic field; cf. Paschen–Back effect n., Stark effect at Stark n.4 anomalous Zeeman effect n. now chiefly historical a form of the Zeeman effect in which an even number of lines is produced rather than the expected odd number, theoretically unexplained before the discovery of electron spin in the 1920s. inverse Zeeman effect n. the splitting of lines in an absorption spectrum in the presence of a magnetic field.

Mag. 5th Ser. 44 503 A theoretical analysis..can be developed in connexion with Zeeman's phenomenon, which may help to throw light on the nature of the electric vibrations in the molecule.] 1897 Abstr. Physical Papers Foreign Sources (Physical Soc.) 3 358 The rotation of the mica plate then showed at once the Zeeman effect as a displacement of one image with respect to the other. 1899 Sci. Abstr.: Physics & Electr. Engin. 2 167 The author does not agree..that the rotation of the plane of the vibrations is the principal cause of the appearance of light in the inverse Zeeman effect. 1913 Sci. Abstr. A. 16 591 (title) Anomalous Zeeman-effect of spectral lines of the D-type. 1962 Rep. Progress Physics 25 272 Using the Zeeman effect in spectral lines originating at high levels in the sun, he has been able to show that a flare is often accompanied by a drastic simplification of the local field. 1980 E. U. Condon & H. Odabaşi Atomic Struct. i. 14 All of these exceptional cases came to be called the anomalous Zeeman effect, although the exceptions soon proved to be much more numerous than the rule. 1994 Ye Shi-Hui Magn. Fields Celestial Bodies ii. 16 What we observe in astronomical spectra is mostly absorption lines superposed on continuous spectra, i.e. Fraunhofer lines. They display the so-called inverse Zeeman effect. 2009 B. D. Cullity & C. D. Graham Introd. Magn. Materials (ed. 2) ii. 88 The spin of the electron was postulated in 1925 in order to explain certain features of the optical spectra of hot gases, particularly gases subjected to a magnetic field (Zeeman effect). 2. attributive. Relating to, caused by, or utilizing the Zeeman effect, as Zeeman splitting.

National Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 13 431 Each of the five hyper-fine structure lines has a triplet Zeeman pattern. 1962 W. B. Thompson Introd. Plasma Physics i. 3 There are several ways of inferring the existence of magnetic fields, of which the most direct is from a measurement of the Zeeman splitting of spectral lines. 1971 New Scientist 18 Feb. 381/1 When a nucleus is placed in a high magnetic field, each energy level splits into several sublevels known as magnetic sublevels or Zeeman levels. 2009 V. V. Protopopov Laser Heterodyning v. 243 Today, Zeeman lasers are available from two manufacturers.
