Mathematics, Natural sciences, Physical sciences, Physics, Sciences Having properties that differ according to the direction of measurement; exhibiting anisotropy.
- The crystal has an anisotropic structure, as it is stronger along its length than laterally.
- The obtained low and anisotropic thermal conductivity, and feasibility of synthesis, in addition to other reports on high electron mobility, make arsenene a promising material for a variety of applications, including thermal management and thermoelectric devices..2015, M.
