单词 soliton
释义

Definition of soliton in English:

soliton

noun ˈsɒlɪtɒnˈsälətän
Physics
  • A quantum or quasiparticle propagated as a travelling non-dissipative wave that is neither preceded nor followed by another such disturbance.

    Example sentencesExamples
    • The atoms were manipulated to form tidy bundles of waves, called solitons, which retained their shape and strength.
    • Though the depression solitons were eventually damped by viscosity, they maintained the shape and velocity required by the standard soliton equations as they traveled across the channel.
    • A soliton is a solitary pulselike wave that can travel long distances without becoming distorted, even when it is moving very slowly through a supercold gas.
    • Paolo Di Trapani of the University of Insubria in Como, Italy, and his colleagues, came up with a pulse shape that combines attributes of both solitons and linear X waves.
    • And because atoms have weight - unlike photons - solitons respond in an easily measured fashion to gravity shifts.

Origin

1960s: from solitary + -on.
