释义

Definition of isotropic in English:

isotropic

adjective ˌʌɪsə(ʊ)ˈtrɒpɪk
Physics
  • 1(of an object or substance) having a physical property which has the same value when measured in different directions.

    〔物理〕(物体或物质)各向同性的。常与ANISOTROPIC 相对

    Often contrasted with anisotropic
    Example sentencesExamples
    • In isotropic ethanol solutions efficient intersystem crossing is observed with quantum yields around 0.5 being reported.
    • In thin section, however, it is a brilliant green, isotropic mineral.
    • For a purely linearly isotropic material, a single constant suffices to describe the sample elasticity.
    • In a homogeneous and mechanically isotropic medium, two types of body waves are generated.
    • Because the bonds are not symmetrical, glass is isotropic and has no definite melting point.
    • Thus, equations for isotropic mixtures of phase domains are not applicable.
    1. 1.1 (of a property or phenomenon) not varying in magnitude according to the direction of measurement.
      (特性或现象)同向性的
      Example sentencesExamples
      • Germination of wild-type spores is initiated by an isotropic growth phase generating spherical germ cells.
      • In isotropic spreading, retraction of [alpha] actinin is limited until cells are over half spread.
      • The system was simulated at constant isotropic pressure of 1 atm applied independently to each box dimension.
      • At the bulging stage, the site of primordium initiation shows an intensified expansion that is nearly isotropic.
      • Interestingly, several isotropic fluorescence times were found to coexist, indicating structural heterogeneity of the DNA.

Derivatives

  • isotropically

  • adverb
    Physics
    • The buttress surface is expanding with high areal strain rates and nearly isotropically.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • Nitric oxide crosses cell membranes without mediation of channels or receptors-it diffuses across cellular membranes isotropically.
      • The fractal shape and rounding of DPTAP domains indicate that domain growth occurred relatively isotropically.
      • This implies that the acyl chains are more isotropically distributed and that the estimate of S is an upper limit.
      • Therefore, in order to describe accurately the soil behavior, an anisotropic model is still necessary to be incorporated even if the soil is initially isotropically consolidated.
  • isotropy

  • nounʌɪˈsɒtrəpiaɪˈsɑtrəpi
    Physics
    • To quantitatively ascertain the isotropy of the collagen gels imaged with confocal reflectance microscopy, several approaches are used.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • Their circular shape, optical isotropy, and rapid reconfiguration all indicate a fluid structure.
      • And so the isotropy of the radiation from the Big Bang would no longer be inconsistent with the finiteness of the speed of light.
      • Errors introduced by the assumption of hemispheric isotropy are estimated to be less than 4%.
      • All gel concentrations have a fairly flat distribution, again emphasizing the isotropy of these gels within the plane in the absence of cells.
      • Nevertheless, homogeneity and isotropy came to be jointly codified as the ‘cosmological principle.’
