单词 halo
释义
halo

Physics
  • 1. A luminous ring that sometimes can be observed around the sun or the moon. It is caused by diffraction of their light by particles in the earth’s atmosphere; the radius of the ring is inversely proportional to the predominant particle radius.

    2. Broad rings appearing in the electron diffraction, neutron diffraction, or X-ray diffraction patterns of materials that are not crystals. For example, the halo associated with neutron diffraction is called a neutron halo. Haloes of this type occur in gases and liquids as well as in noncrystalline solids.

    3. The glow in a cathode-ray tube that briefly remains after the beam has passed.


Chemistry
  • A broad ring appearing in the electron diffraction, neutron diffraction, or X-ray diffraction patterns of materials that are not crystals. Haloes of this type occur in gases and liquids as well as in noncrystalline solids.


Electronics and Electrical Engineering
  • See halation.


Geology and Earth Sciences
  • Rainbow-coloured, sometimes white, ring around the Sun or Moon, subtending an angle of 22° or, more rarely, 46°, due to refraction by ice crystals when thin cirrus cloud obscures the luminary. Compare corona.


Geography
  • A ring of light around the sun or, more rarely, the moon, caused by the refraction of light by ice crystals. A cloud halo is a zone of increased humidity around cumulus clouds; see Lu et al. (2002) J. Appl. Met. 41, 8.
