The word "anisotropy" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it to describe a physical property of a material in which the material exhibits different properties when measured in different directions. For example, "The anisotropy of the material caused its strength to vary when measured in different directions."
Demagnetization and magnetic anisotropy.
The magnetocrystalline anisotropy also falls from the value for pure nickel to a very low value in the region of 80 percent nickel, rising only slowly thereafter.
As far as domain rotation is concerned, there are two important factors to be considered, demagnetization and magnetic anisotropy (exhibition of different magnetic properties when measured along axes in different directions).
Similar minimum-energy considerations are involved in the second mechanism hindering domain rotation, namely magnetocrystalline anisotropy.
The anisotropy of the structure of graphite accounts for the anisotropy of its electrical conductivity (which is higher in the plane of the sheets than perpendicular to them).
Another useful property that can be controlled by processing and composition is the plastic anisotropy ratio.
This spherical surface of last scattering probably has slight ripples in it that account for the slight anisotropies observed in the cosmic microwave background today.
Finally, slight anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background occurred because of quantum fluctuations in the mass density.
As to the new gravitational waves discovery, if confirmed it will be "really stupendous", says Smoot. "What we have seen in less than 25 years is the full development of the use of CMB anisotropies [the distinctive patterns in the radiation] as a probe and a tool to test out ideas of cosmology".
The ripples, or anisotropies, "constitute a cosmic DNA in the sense that they encode the blueprints for the evolution of the universe," he said.
The noncubic variations found in perovskite ceramics introduce the concept of anisotropy i.e., an ionic arrangement that is not identical in all directions.
