Solid-state electronics. Solid-state electronics are those circuits or devices built entirely from solid materials and in which the electrons, or other charge carriers, are confined entirely within the solid material.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Latent heat is energy released or absorbed, by a body or a thermodynamic system, during a constant-temperature process that is specified in some way. An example is latent heat of fusion for a phase change, melting, at a specified temperature and pressure. The term was introduced around 1762 by Scottish chemist Joseph Black. It is derived from the Latin latere (to lie hidden).
1 The specific latent heat (L) of a materialâ¦. 2  is a measure of the heat energy (Q) per mass (m) released or absorbed during a phase change. 3  is defined through the formula Q = mL. 4  is often just called the latent heat of the material. 5  uses the SI unit joule per kilogram [J/kg].
