diamond almâs (#) Fr.: diamant A crystalline form of → carbon, which is the hardest substance known. Each carbon in a diamond crystal is bonded to four other carbon atoms forming a tetrahedral unit. This tetrahedral bonding of five carbon atoms forms an incredibly strong molecule. Diamond has a very high → refractive index and → dispersive power. It is colorless when pure, and sometimes colored by traces of impurities. Natural diamond was formed billions of years ago within the Earth → mantle at depths greater than 150 km, where pressure is roughly 5 giga→ pascals and the temperature is around 1200 °C. Diamonds reach the surface of the Earth via volcanic eruptions. Similarly very small diamonds (micrometer and nanometer sizes) are usually found in impact sites of → meteorites. Such impact events create shock zones of high pressure and temperature suitable for diamond formation. When diamond is exposed to high temperatures or ion bombardment, it will be transformed into → graphite. Diamond, from O.Fr. diamant, from M.L. diamant-, diamas-, from L. adamant-, adamas "hardest metal," from Gk. adamas "unbreakable," from → a- "not" + daman "to subdue, to tame;" cognate with Pers. dâm "a tame animal."

L. pars "part, piece, side, share," portio "share, portion;" Gk. peprotai "it has been granted;" Skt. purti- "reward;" Hitt. pars-, parsiya- "to break, crumble") + -(g)i a noun/state suffix. |
dichroic filter pâlâye-ye dofâm (#) Fr.: filtre dichroïque An → interference filter used to selectively pass light of a small range of colors while reflecting other colors. |
dichroism dofâmi (#) Fr.: dichroïsme Property of some crystals in which radiation polarized in one plane relative to the crystalline axes is freely transmitted, but radiation polarized perpendicular to this is absorbed. Tourmaline is a natural mineral with this property; Polaroid is a synthetic dichroic substance. From Gk. dichro(os), from di- "two," → di-, + chroma "color" + -ism. Dofâmi, from do "two," → bi- + fâm "color," + -i noun suffix. |
dictionary farhang (#) Fr.: dictionnaire A reference source in print or electronic form containing words alphabetically arranged along with information about their forms, meanings, pronunciations, etymologies, etc. M.L. dictionarium "collection of words and phrases," from L. dictionarius "of words," from dictio "word" from dic-, p.p. stem of L. dicere "speak, tell, say," from PIE root *deik- "to point out;" cf. Av. daēs- "to show," daēsa- "sign, omen;" cf. Skt. deś- "to show, point out;" → form. Farhang, → culture. |
dielectric nâbarq Fr.: diélectrique A substance in which an electric field gives rise to no net flow of electric charge but to a displacement of charge in opposite directions. The displacement is usually small compared to atomic dimensions. Dielectrics differ from conductors in that they have no free electrons to move through the material under the influence of an electric field. Most insulating materials, e.g. air, porcelain, mica, glass, are dielectrics. A perfect vacuum would constitute a perfect dielectric. → diamagnetic. Dielectric, from Gk. dia- a prefix used with several meanings "passing through; thoroughly; completely; going apart," and in the present case "not, opposed;" → electric. Nâbarg, from nâ- "not," → un-, + barq→ electricity. |
Diesel engine motor-e Diesel (#) Fr.: moteur Diesel Any internal combustion → engine in which → adiabatic compression raises the temperature of air high enough so that fuel ignites spontaneously when injected. After Rudolf Diesel (1858-1913), German engineer; → engine. |
Dieterici equation hamugeš-e Dieterici Fr.: équation de Dieterici An → equation of state for → real gases which leads to the → van der Waals equation as a → first approximation.
