Having uniform properties in all directions. The measured properties of an isotropic material are independent of the axis of testing.
Having the property of appearing the same in all directions. In astronomy, this term is often postulated to apply to the universe as a whole.
A hypothetical antenna having equal radiation intensity in all directions.
In a subtractive process, the material is removed in all directions simultaneously, frequently at the same rate vertically and horizontally.
iso = same + tropos = a turning; having the same properties in all directions.
In optical mineralogy, those minerals that only singly refract transmitted light. The property of a substance to transmit light with equal velocity in all crystallographic directions. Opposite of anisotropic.
(sc) having the same properties in all directions.(sc) This term is generally associated with the semiconductor industry. This term is generally associated with the rubber industry.
Substances showing a single refractive index at a given temperature and wavelength no matter what the direction of light through the particle. They show no interference colors between crossed polars. Examples are unstrained glasses, unoriented polymers and compounds in the cubic system.
Exhibiting properties with the same values in all spatial directions.
A soil mass having the same properties in all directions.
reference for antenna gain measurements.
Independent of direction. The permeability tensor is isotropic if the effective permeability does not vary with the direction of ground-water flow. The dispersion tensor is anisotropic if the longitudinal and transverse dispersivities do not vary with the direction of ground-water flow. A property that depends on the flow direction is said to be anisotropic.
Having the same characteristics in all directions, as with isotropic antennas. Directional or focused antennas are not isotropic.
In wireless, a theoretical "unity" (0 dB) gain antenna used as a measurement reference. Has the assumed characteristic of receiving or transmitting equally well in all directions. A dipole antenna roughly approximates an isotropic antenna.
Assumed property of the universe such that the universe looks the same in every direction.
invariant with respect to direction
Fiber directionality with uniform properties in all directions, independent of the direction of applied load.
With reference to antennas, an isotropic antenna radiates equally in all directions, both horizontally and vertically.
The condition of a particulate solid when its properties are independent of direction. Antonym of anisotropic.
Pertaining to surfaces on the Earth which are uniform in all directions.
A theoretical "isotrope" is a single point in free space which radiates energy equally in every direction.
Exhibiting properties with the same values when measured along axes in all directions. Opposite of anisotropic. [ Words starting with J
Data which does not have a preferred orientation or trend is said to be isotropic. If similar variograms can be obtained from several different directions, the data is probably isotropic.
An isotropic universe has no preferred direction. It acts the same in every direction. For example, the redshift of distant galaxy clusters looks the same from our location as it does from another distant cluster in the universe.
A general term used to describe the uniform spatial distribution of optical characteristics displayed by a specimen or propagation medium. Isotropic specimens have identical properties when probed from any direction. In polarized light and DIC microscopy, isotropic specimens possess a uniformity of optical properties with respect to the vibration plane of polarized light.
Having uniform properties in all directions independent of the direction of load application.
Having the same properties in every direction.
Being singly refractive, the opposite of doubly refractive (bi-refringent or anisotropic). Diamond is normally isotropic, but can be bi-refringent because of inclusions or internal strain.
A property of a distribution of particles where the flux is constant over all directions.
The material has no preferred direction of magnetic orientation, which allows magnetization in any direction.
Having magnetic properties that are independent of the magnet orientation. Most magnetic materials are anisotropic as cast or powdered: each crystallite has a preferred direction of magnetic orientation. If the particles are not physically oriented during manufacture of the magnet, this results in random arrangement of the particles and magnetic domains, and produces isotropic magnetic properties. Conversely, orienting the material during the manufacture results in an anisotropic magnet.
An antenna that emits its signal in a spherical pattern..
of equal physical properties in all directions.
the same in all directions. Anisotropic - not isotropic. Anisotropy - difference between different directions. In the standard color scheme for CMB anisotropy maps measured by the COBE DMR, red shows areas of the sky that are warmer, while blue shows the cooler regions.
An antenna that radiates its signal 360 degrees both vertically and horizontally in a perfect sphere.
Hypothetical, lossless electromagnetic wave radiating equally in all directions from a point source in free space. Used as a reference for antenna gain.
a substance which has uniform physical properties in all directions.
The ability to react the same regardless of the direction of the measurement. Isotropic materials will react consistently even if stress is applied in different directions. Stress-strength ratio is uniform throughout material.
It means that the material is having same properties regardless of the direction of measurement.
Having properties that are not aligned to any particular orientation, i.e. the same in all directions. Isotropy is a key feature of the pyrolytic carbon used for heart valves.
Having physical properties that are the same regardless of the direction of measurement. Opposite of anisotropic.
Having no preferred direction in space.
Independent of direction or angle. A property is isotropic if it is the same when viewed from any direction.
Minerals of the highly symmetric isometric crystal system, which have the same physical properties in all directions. Light travels at the same speed in all directions through isotropic minerals because the crystal lattice is identical in all directions. Only one index of refraction exists for the mineral. Isotropic minerals appear black at all times under crossed polarizers, regardless of stage rotation.
Not visible in cross polarized light. SEE ANISOTROPIC.
Having the same properties in all directions. Obtained by combining the Greek iso, meaning alike or same, and tropos, meaning turning. Its antonym is anisotropic.
