TermDefinition
Design To plan and delineate with an end in mind and subject to constraints.
Devitrification The process in which a glass (noncrystalline or vitreous solid) transforms to a crystalline solid.
Dialysis A phenomenon in which a semipermeable membrane allows transfer of both solvent molecules and small solute molecules and ions.
Diamagnetism A weak form of induced or nonpermanent magnetism for which the magnetic susceptibility is negative. A type of magnetism associated with paired electrons, that causes a substance to be repelled from the inducing magnetic field.
Die see chip.
Dielectric Any material that is electrically insulating.
Dielectric (breakdown) strength The magnitude of an electric field necessary to cause significant current passage through a dielectric material.
Dielectric constant (ε) The ratio of the permittivity of a medium to that of a vacuum. Also called the relative dielectric constant or relative permittivity.
Dielectric displacement The magnitude of charge per unit area of capacitor plate.
Diffusion A thermochemical process whereby controlled dopants are introduced into a substrate.
