dephasing

Noun

Meaning

dephasing (countable and uncountable, plural dephasings)

English Wikipedia has an article on:dephasingWikipedia
(quantum mechanics, medical imaging) A loss of the synchronization or coherence caused by a perturbation, upon which the system returns to its state before perturbation.

Examples

Decoherence times for candidate systems, in particular the transverse relaxation time T 2 (for NMR and MRI technology, also called the dephasing time), typically range between nanoseconds and seconds at low temperature. Source: Internet

T2 is a measure of the loss of coherence that excludes static dephasing, using an RF pulse to reverse the slowest types of dipolar interaction. Source: Internet

There is in fact a continuum of interaction time-scales in a given biological sample, and the properties of the refocusing RF pulse can be tuned to refocus more than just static dephasing. Source: Internet

In this case the loss of coherence is described as a "static dephasing". Source: Internet

T2* is a measure of the loss of coherence in an ensemble of spins that includes all interactions (including static dephasing). Source: Internet
