Anisotropic
different in one direction than in another direction or directions. An anisotropic etch process is an etch process that has a higher etch rate in one direction than other directions, or an anisotropic medium is a medium where some property or properties depend on the direction in which the medium is measured. See also, isotropic.

Anisotropic
(a.)
Not isotropic; having different properties in different directions; thus, crystals of the isometric system are optically isotropic, but all other crystals are anisotropic.

anisotropic
Pertaining to a material whose electrical or optical properties vary with (a) the direction of propagation of a traveling wave or with (b) different polarizations of a traveling wave. Note 1: Anisotropy is exhibited by non-cubic crystals, which have different refractive indices for lightwaves propagating in different directions or with different polarizations. Note 2: Anisotropy may be induced in certain materials under mechanical strain.

Anisotropic
1. General: possessing different physical properties in different directions 2. General: having physical properties that depend on direction 3.Minerals or parts of soils: alternately bright and dark between crossed polars when the microscope stage is rotated. The bright position is due to the formation of interference colors. SEE INTERFERENCE COLOURS.

Anisotropy
Anisotropy (pronounced with stress on the third syllable, ) is the property of being directionally dependent, as opposed to isotropy, which means homogeneity in all directions. It can be defined as a difference in a physical property (absorbance, refractive index, density, etc.) for some material when measured along different axes. An example is the light coming through a polarising lens.
