WHAT DOES ANISOTROPY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

anisotropy

Anisotropy

Anisotropy /ˌænaɪˈsɒtrəpi/ is the property of being directionally dependent, as opposed to isotropy, which implies identical properties in all directions. It can be defined as a difference, when measured along different axes, in a material's physical or mechanical properties An example of anisotropy is the light coming through a polarizer. Another is wood, which is easier to split along its grain than against it.

Definition of anisotropy in the English dictionary

The definition of anisotropy in the dictionary is the property of being anisotropic; having a different value when measured in different directions.
