semiclásicamente
- Semiclassically, an electric field parallel to z would ideally increase the wavevector kz of an electron, raising its kinetic energy to the top of the energy band.
Examples
-

semiclassically = semiclassical (transparent) = semi + class + ical + ly
The target is the regular adverbial -ly form of the adjective 'semiclassical'.
Etymology
The word semiclassically comes from semi- meaning 'partly' and classical meaning 'traditional', as in semi-final where semi- means 'half'. In physics, to treat something semiclassically is to use classical methods for part of the problem and the modern physics of 'very small things' for the rest, so you get a simpler, mixed approach.
