单词 capture
释义
capture

Physics
  • Any of various processes in which a system of particles absorbs an extra particle. There are several examples in atomic and nuclear physics. For instance, a positive ion may capture an electron to give a neutral atom or molecule. Similarly, a neutral atom or molecule capturing an electron becomes a negative ion. An atomic nucleus may capture a neutron to produce a different (often unstable) nucleus. Another type of nuclear capture is the process in which the nucleus of an atom absorbs an electron from the innermost orbit (the K shell) to transform into a different nucleus. In this process (called K capture) the atom is left in an excited state and generally decays by emission of an X-ray photon.

    Radiative capture is any such process in which the capture results in an excited state that decays by emission of photons. A common example is neutron capture to yield an excited nucleus, which decays by emission of a gamma ray.

Geology and Earth Sciences
  • 1. Substitution in a crystal lattice of a trace element for a common element with lower valency or larger ionic radius, e.g. Ba++ for K+. There is often a higher concentration of captured trace elements relative to common elements in the mineral than in the liquid from which it crystallized. Compare camouflage.

    2. See river capture.


Geography
  • When a river is extending its channel upstream by headward erosion, it may come into contact with the headwaters of a less vigorous river. The headwaters from the minor river may be diverted into the more rapidly eroding channel. There is often a sudden change of stream direction at the point of capture; this is the elbow of capture. See Mather (2000) Geomorph. 34, 3 for two examples of river capture; see also Bishop (1995) PPG 19.
