The phrase "a proximity effect" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing the influence of closeness or nearness, often in fields like audio engineering, psychology, or physics.
Example: "The proximity effect in microphones can cause a boost in bass frequencies when the sound source is very close."
Alternatives: "a closeness effect" or "a nearness effect".
Our NMR results that show that residues corresponding to the linker regions between fingers do not interact with RNA directly suggest that these nonconserved unstructured regions act to increase the RNA affinity only through a proximity effect, tethering the zinc fingers and increasing the effective local concentration of the zinc finger domains.
The results are interpreted by quantumelectrochemical effects, ie either by an enhancement of the electrode kinetics or by a proximity effect.
Previous studies have suggested that it is appropriate to assess the value of biodiversity for conservation planning by considering both the condition of the landscape and the spatial configuration of adjacent land uses that can be reflected as a proximity effect.
Findlay & Gilchrist [45] also found a proximity effect, i.e., a tendency of saccades to fall near the target in space.
The relative proximity between OLIG2 and 5F7 (14.5 kb) raises the possibility that the observed interactions stem from a proximity effect rather than from an active process.
The D4S substitution was selected over the D4Y substitution because a tyrosine substitution in position 5 (P5Y) also showed significant improvement, which suggests there may be a proximity effect of tyrosine substitution in this region of the peptide.
They did this by calculating what they called a "proximity-effect index" for each of the 100 most popular names in each state.
Each bolometer in the array will use a proximity-effect Transition Edge Sensor (TES) sensing element and each will have integrated Normal-Insulator-Superconductor (NIS) refrigerators to cool the bolometer below the thermal reservoir temperature.
We have constructed a scale model of a candidate planar antenna and tested a Mo/Cu proximity effect TES and Cu absorbers.
Indeed, due to the lower quantity of Si atoms with respect to an equal volume of bulk Si, PS behaves as a low-density material and exhibits a reduced proximity effect [2], which is the main limitation factor in writing resolution with standard EBL-based methods.
The polarization distributions of the ferroelectric paraelectric bilayer are analyzed as a function of the thickness of the bilayer film, where there is a "ferroelectric proximity effect" due to dipole dipole interactions.
