Michael Faraday was opposed to Newtonian doctrines, and highly disapproved the theory of action at a distance; in fact, when he applied himself to analysing the polarization of insulated media, which he called dielectrics, he hoped to eliminate the hypothesis of such action. ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)
With that comes a leadership position in new materials and new requirements of technology for materials such as dielectrics, chemicals and silicon, "says Gidu Shroff, vice president of the chipmaker's Technology and Manufacturing Group and director of materials. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Since the value of this energy depends on the shapes and positions of the conductors and dielectrics, the Casimir effect manifests itself as a force between such objects. ❋ Unknown (2007)
The Casimir effect can be understood by the idea that the presence of conducting metals and dielectrics alter the vacuum expectation value of the energy of the second quantized electromagnetic field. ❋ Unknown (2007)
The major uses of sheet and block mica are as electrical insulators in electronic equipment, thermal insulation, gauge “glass”, windows in stove and kerosene heaters, dielectrics in capacitors, decorative panels in lamps and windows, insulation in electric motors and generator armatures, field coil insulation, and magnet and commutator core insulation. ❋ Unknown (2008)
The same is true for many other materials, such as various semiconductors, dielectrics, etc. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Besides my work on magnetism, and the closely related subjects of ligand fields and of dielectrics, one of my interests has been molecular spectra. ❋ Unknown (1992)
This means utilizing dielectric materials, not metals, as dielectrics are the best resonators at these short waves. ❋ Unknown (1990)
Over the years, the subjects of his interest came to include colloids, dielectrics, order-disorder transitions, metals and superfluids, hydrodynamics and fractionation theory. ❋ Unknown (1972)
Some dielectrics 0.2 mm. thick can be made to stand up to 8,000 volts when in small pieces, but in complete condensers a much greater margin must be allowed. ❋ Various (N/A)
Prof. Rucker called attention to the fact that dielectrics alter in volume under electric stress, and said that if the material was imperfectly elastic, some loss would result. ❋ Various (N/A)
Man had been hunting superior dielectrics for a long time now. ❋ Poul William Anderson (N/A)
It will be seen that, despite the two dielectrics (ebonite and glass) interposed, and the opacity of one of them, the efflux that occurred around the disk, P, is quite sharply reproduced upon the sensitized plate by a circle like that which we observed in Figs. 2 and 3. ❋ Various (N/A)
Usually this quality of dielectrics is measured in terms of the same quality in dry air, this being taken as unity. ❋ George Patterson (1910)
Of all dielectrics mica is the most suitable for condensers, since it has very high insulation resistance and also high specific inductive capacity, and furthermore may be obtained in very thin sheets. ❋ George Patterson (1910)
That in fluid dielectrics the electric polarisation is accompanied by a tension in the direction of the lines of force combined with an equal pressure in all directions at right angles to the lines of force. ❋ Various (1909)
I insert a thick plate of one of the best dielectrics between them, and instead of rendering altogether impossible, as we are used to expect, I _aid_ the passage of the discharge, which, as I insert the plate, merely changes in appearance and assumes the form of luminous streams. ❋ Nikola Tesla (1899)
In oil or other liquid dielectrics there are seemingly no such losses as in gaseous media. ❋ Nikola Tesla (1899)
It being impossible to exclude entirely the gas in condensers with solid dielectrics, such condensers should be immersed in oil, for economical reasons if nothing else; they can then be strained to the utmost and will remain cool. ❋ Nikola Tesla (1899)
Initially, the facility is expected to primarily support certain advanced dielectrics slurry products, and additional CMP consumable products may be added in the future. ❋ Unknown (2011)
