binding energy in English

noun
1
the energy that holds a nucleus together, equal to the mass defect of the nucleus.
It's not until you get into the elements heavier than lead (all of which are radioactive) that you find nuclei whose binding energy per nucleon is low enough that the fission fragments could tunnel apart.
noun
    separation energy

Use "binding energy" in a sentence

Below are sample sentences containing the word "binding energy" from the English Dictionary. We can refer to these sentence patterns for sentences in case of finding sample sentences with the word "binding energy", or refer to the context using the word "binding energy" in the English Dictionary.

1. If this is a donor–Acceptor pair transition, then the inferred Acceptor binding energy is 0.1–0.2 eV.

2. 28 Iron nuclei have the largest binding energy per nucleon; hence neither fission nor fusion can release further energy.

3. At low doping levels, recombinations involving impurity states provide a measurement of the zinc-acceptor binding energy in the Ga0.85In0.15As alloy.

4. Photons with energies less than the electron binding energy may be absorbed or scattered but will not photoionize the atom or ion.

5. Likewise, because of the lower masses and the screened Coulomb interaction, the binding energy is usually much less than that of a hydrogen atom, typically on the order of 0.01eV.

6. Avidity The degree of stability of an antibody’s binding with its antigen, which is a function of the number of shared binding sites and the binding energy of the antibody and antigen, which is the sum of the binding affinities of the combining sites on the antibody
