relaxatsioonifaasidel
Relaxatsioonifaasid, literally meaning "relaxation phases" in Estonian, refer to the periods in a dynamic system during which the system returns to equilibrium after a perturbation. In chemical kinetics, this concept is applied to the relaxation of intermediates or excited states toward their ground state, often characterized by characteristic time constants. For example, after a burst of energy is absorbed by a molecule, the molecule undergoes vibrational or rotational relaxation, releasing energy as heat or photons before settling into a stable configuration.
In the field of enzymology, relaxation phases describe the time-dependent restoration of enzyme activity following inhibition
In astrophysics and plasma physics, relaxation refers to the gradual equilibration of particle velocities in a
Understanding relaxation phases is crucial for designing efficient catalysts, optimizing photonic devices, and modeling natural processes
