Related matrix context

This claim does not itself create a matrix cell. The context below belongs to Photovoltaic effect, the phenomenon it is about.

D = disequilibrium row · C = coupling family column. A cell reads the state of the atlas for that pair.

family: Photovoltaic (C.18)
D.11 × C.18 · Incident radiation flux × Photovoltaic · Established
