The VSMCs migrated on the surfaces randomly without a preferential direction.
The engineered films demonstrate no preferential direction of stretching and the proposed design is versatile.
Anisotropy in the birefringence of single crystal CVD diamond due to the preferential direction of dislocation propagation is reported.
Analogous to the electronic diode, a thermal diode transports heat mainly in one preferential direction rather than in the opposite direction.
In all of these systems the intermolecular interactions between polarized peripheries of the π-conjugated moieties ensure a preferential direction in the molecular packing.
In particular gelation conditions the gel structure can be characterized by great anisotropy with the presence of straight capillaries along a preferential direction.
Due to the preferential direction of the wing-crack development, material damaged in this mode exhibits damage induced anisotropy and volume dilatancy.
The potential of the proposed methodology is illustrated by applying it to the case of nucleus intensity varying along a single preferential direction.
In this work, we show that the presence of a node firing at a higher frequency in a network with local connections, leads to reliable transmission of signals and establishes a preferential direction of information flow.
As the top and bottom surfaces of the sample are not in contact with similar environments, different rates of heat transfer in the surfaces and the temperature gradient across the sample establish the preferential direction of heat transfer.
But although controlled movement of single molecules along a surface has been reported12,13,14,15,16, the molecules in these examples act as passive elements that either diffuse along a preferential direction with equal probability for forward and backward movement or are dragged by an STM tip.
