Dieldrin
Dieldrin is a persistent organochlorine insecticide of the cyclodiene group and the epoxide of aldrin, used from 1950 until its last US use, termite control, was canceled in 1989.
Dielectric
A dielectric, or dielectric medium, is an electrically insulating material that becomes polarized when placed in an electric field. It is central to capacitors, where it raises capacitance and breakdown voltage.
Dielectric analysis
Dielectric analysis, also called dielectric spectroscopy, characterizes insulating materials by applying an alternating electric field and measuring complex permittivity, mapping dipole relaxation, ionic conduction, and interfacial charge processes.
Dielectric elastomer actuator
A dielectric elastomer actuator is a soft, electrically powered actuator with no discrete moving parts, in which voltage across a prestrained elastomer film produces strains of 10% to 50%.
Dielectric function
The dielectric function, also called the complex permittivity, is a material's complex, frequency-dependent response to an electric field: its real part governs refraction, its imaginary part absorption.
Dielectric heating
Dielectric heating, also known as radio-frequency or RF heating, generates heat inside non-conducting materials by exposing them to high-frequency alternating electric fields, spanning RF and microwave regimes used for industrial drying, welding, baking, and preheating.
Dielectric Huygens' metasurface
A dielectric Huygens' metasurface is an ultrathin planar array of subwavelength dielectric nanostructures, or meta-atoms, engineered so overlapping electric and magnetic dipole resonances make each one scatter light almost entirely forward.
Dielectric laser accelerator
Dielectric laser acceleration (DLA) is a particle-acceleration technique in which a laser drives a dielectric microstructure on a chip, first demonstrated in 2013 at SLAC and Stanford with gradients roughly ten times those of conventional accelerators.
Dielectric loss
Dielectric loss is the dissipation of electromagnetic energy as heat inside an insulating material when an alternating electric field is applied, quantified by the loss tangent and exploited in dielectric heating.
Dielectric metasurface
A dielectric metasurface is an ultrathin, planar array of subwavelength high-index nanostructures that controls light's phase and polarization with low optical loss and high efficiency.
Dielectric mirror
A dielectric mirror, also known as a Bragg mirror, is a mirror made of many thin transparent layers that reflect over 99.9% of light at chosen wavelengths.
