potensialstrukturer
Potensialstrukturer, or potential structures, refer to the organization of a system by a scalar potential field from which forces or energy changes arise. They are a unifying concept used across physics, chemistry, mathematics, and geoscience to describe how interactions are governed by potential energy.
In physics, a potential structure is a scalar field Φ(x) such that the force on a particle
In mathematics, potential theory studies scalar potentials and harmonic functions, often via Laplace’s and Poisson’s equations.
In chemistry, potential energy surfaces (PES) map the potential energy as a function of nuclear coordinates.
In geophysics, geopotential refers to the potential of the Earth’s gravity field, including rotational effects. The
Overall, potensialstrukturer provide a framework for predicting dynamics, stability, and pathways across diverse disciplines by linking
