Of energy levels To fail to cross in a graph of energy vs. electric field strength; characteristic of coherent superposition states
Quantum mechanics
When the mixing becomes resonant, the phonon sideband anticrosses with the excited exciton state.1998, Lev Zimin et al., “LO Phonon Renormalization in Optically Excited CuCl Nanocrystals”, in Physical Review Letters, volume 80, number 14:
anticross
noun
Etymology From anti- + cross.
1
A case of anticrossing
Quantum mechanics
These anticrosses arise from the mixing effect of heavy and light hole states.1998, K. Chang, J.B. Xia, “The effects of electric field on the electronic structure of a semiconductor quantum dot”, in Journal of Applied Physics, volume 84:
