orientationspecific
Orientation-specific is an adjective used in science and engineering to describe phenomena that depend on the spatial orientation of objects, fields, or systems relative to a reference frame. The term is commonly used in disciplines such as physics, materials science, chemistry, and biology, to distinguish effects that vary with direction from those that are isotropic.
In physics and materials science, many properties are anisotropic and orientation-specific, including mechanical strength, electrical conductivity,
In biology and neuroscience, orientation specificity refers to tuning of sensory neurons to particular directions or
In chemistry and surface science, reactions and adsorption can be orientation-specific, depending on how a molecule
Measurement and analysis of orientation specificity typically involve orientational averages, angular-resolved measurements, or polarization-sensitive techniques, often
