metastable

The block sitting on the slope but not moving is metastable.

In regions where a particular state is not the most stable, it may still be metastable.

Research has, however, indicated they are metastable states, so may have relatively long lifetimes.

Forbidden transitions from metastable states are often called as satellite lines.

In order for an isomer to store energy then, it must be metastable as shown above.

For example, diamond is a metastable form of carbon at standard temperature and pressure.

In such cases, surface tension effects work to disrupt the metastable condition.

Outside of the curve, the solution will be at least metastable with respect to fluctuations.

"Because the contaminated molecules are currently in a metastable state.

But plain to see, the configuration was only metastable.

This element also has eight metastable states, though all have half-lives less than one second.

In the first place, the miniaturized state is metastable.

Lastly the fourth term takes into account relaxation of the metastable state.

This can take a while, for "metastable" excited states.

It is metastable and converts to the alpha phase at high temperatures.

If the center of gravity coincides with the foundations, then the body is said to be metastable.

Your creators wanted to increase the lifetime of a metastable bound state."

This article is about the phenomenon where a liquid can exist in a metastable state above its boiling point.

At that time, no stable or metastable vacua of string theory were actually known.

The difference between producing a stable vs. metastable entity can have important consequences.

Metastable behavior occurs at the high frequency domain known as 1/f regime.

At least 32 metastable isomers have been characterized, ranging in mass number from 164 to 197.

However, the metastable Ho has a half life of around 1200 years because of its high spin.

The parameters of excited systems may reach and hold stationary values (a metastable state).

Rydberg atoms are an example of metastable excited atomic states.
