Meanings

  1. Having properties that differ according to the direction of measurement; exhibiting anisotropy.
    • The crystal has an anisotropic structure, as it is stronger along its length than laterally.
    • The obtained low and anisotropic thermal conductivity, and feasibility of synthesis, in addition to other reports on high electron mobility, make arsenene a promising material for a variety of applications, including thermal management and thermoelectric devices.. 2015, M. Zeraati, S. M. Vaez Allaei, I. Abdolhosseini Sarsari, M. Pourfath, D. Donadio, “Highly Anistoropic Thermal Conductivity of Arsenene: An ab initio Study”, in arXiv:
