| 1. | These varying thermodynamically stable contact angles are known as metastable states.
|
| 2. | Forbidden transitions from metastable states are often called as satellite lines.
|
| 3. | Photon upconversion relies on metastable states to facilitate sequential energy absorption.
|
| 4. | See metastable state and local minimum for more information about the topic.
|
| 5. | Another interpretation of a metastable state is an unusually long lived unstable state.
|
| 6. | In this metastable state ?-MoTe 2 can survive below 500 �C.
|
| 7. | metastable states observed when cells are switched abruptly.
|
| 8. | It is then in a metastable state, and we may expect condensation to take place.
|
| 9. | Thus the Shpolskii systems are an example of a " persistent " metastable state.
|
| 10. | Research has, however, indicated they are metastable states, so may have relatively long lifetimes.
