Tending to oscillate; oscillatory.

An oscillating motion.

In an oscillative manner.

(physics) In solid-state physics, the oscillation of a particle (e.g. an electron) confined in a periodic potential when a constant force is acting on it.

plural of Bloch oscillation

(classical mechanics) A system which, when displaced from its equilibrium position, experiences a restoring force F proportional to the displacement x according to Hooke's law: F=-kx,, where k is a positive constant.

A device composed of an odd number of NOT gates whose output oscillates between two voltage levels, representing true and false. The NOT gates, or inverters, are attached in a chain; the output of the last inverter is fed back into the first.

plural of harmonic oscillator

The atmospheric component of El Niño; an oscillation in surface air pressure between the tropical eastern and the western Pacific Ocean waters.

An electronic oscillator circuit in which the oscillation frequency is determined by a tuned circuit consisting of capacitors and inductors.
