What is the two-photon absorption cross section now named after her?
The Goeppert Mayer
The Curie Unit
Hertz Unit
Joule Unit
Answer
The Goeppert Mayer two-photon absorption cross section describes how light interacts with materials through the simultaneous absorption of two photons. Named after physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer, this phenomenon involves electrons jumping from one energy level to another by absorbing two photons simultaneously, rather than the traditional absorption of a single photon.
