  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006732",
  "term": "Local differential absorption",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The rate at which radiant energy is absorbed per unit volume at a specific point within a medium, considering the local concentration of absorbing species and the local radiation field. This quantity is a function of position and wavelength, reflecting the spatial variation of energy deposition. It is a key parameter in understanding energy transfer processes in photochemistry and radiation chemistry.",
