Identical Particles

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Legal, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.
Identical Particles 

particles that have identical physical properties, including mass, spin, electric charge, and other intrinsic characteristics, such as quantum numbers. For example, all electrons in the universe are regarded as identical. Identical particles conform to the principle of indistinguishability. The funda mental indistinguishability of identical particles is a purely quantum-mechanical concept.

A key question to be answered is whether or not a particular nanoparticle has toxic or hazardous properties that are truly different from identical particles in their bulk form," Wiesner said.
The author describes the origins of quantum mechanics, its mathematical tools and postulates, one- and three-dimensional problems, angular momentum, identical particles, approximation methods for stationary states, scattering theory, time-dependent perturbation theory, and other related topics.
The intensity of the scattering at a macromolecular object of identical particles experiencing negligible inter-particular interactions (dilute systems) is simply the sum of all scattering intensities originating from a single particle.
