ferric iron
  آهن ِ فریک   
âhan-e ferrik

Fr.: fer ferrique, fer trivalent   

Iron in a plus-3 → oxidation state. Ferric iron needs to share three electrons with an oxygen molecule to make the ion neutral.

ferric; → iron.

ferro-
  آهن-، فرو-   
âhan-, ferro-

Fr.: ferro-   

Indicating a property of → iron or the presence of iron.

Ferro-, variant ferri-, combining form of L. ferrum "iron."

Âhan-, → iron.

ferroelectric
  آهن‌برق‌مند   
âhanbarqmand

Fr.: ferroélectrique   

Characterized by the presence of a spontaneous → electric dipole while not exposed to an external electric field. → ferroelectricity.

ferro-; → electric.

ferroelectricity
  آهن‌برق‌مندی   
âhanbarqmandi

Fr.: ferroélectricité   

A property observed in certain materials characterized by the presence of a spontaneous electric polarization even in the absence of an external electric field. In the ferroelectric state the center of positive charge of the material does not coincide with the center of negative charge. This phenomenon is explained by spontaneous alignment of these permanent moments along the same direction. The term comes from the similarity with → ferromagnetism, but iron is not a ferroelectric. Ferroelectricity disappears above a critical temperature. Ferroelectric materials have been a fertile field for the study of → phase transitions.

ferro-; → electricity.

ferromagnet
  آهن‌مغنات   
âhanmeqnât

Fr.: ferro-aimant   

A ferroamagnetic substance, which possesses → ferromagnetism.

ferro-; → magnet.

ferromagnetic
  آهن‌مغناتی   
âhanmeqnâti

Fr.: ferromagnétique   

Relative to or characterized by → ferromagnetism.

ferro-; → magnetic.

ferromagnetism
  آهن‌مغنات‌مندی   
âhanmegnâtmandi

Fr.: ferromagnétisme   

A property of certain substances which are enormously more magnetic than any other known substance. Ferromagnetic substances, such as the chemical elements iron, nickel, cobalt, some of the rare earths, and ceratin alloys, achieve maximum → magnetization at relatively low magnetic field strengths. Their large → magnetic permeabilityies (greater than unity) vary with the strength of the applied field. When the temperature of a ferromagnet is increased the property vanishes gradually due to randomizing effects of thermal agitation. Beyond a definite temperature for each substance ( → Curie temperature) it ceases to behave as a ferromagnet and becomes a → paramagnet. Ferromagnetism is due to the alignment of the → magnetic moments of uncompensated electrons in the crystal lattice. Under the influence of an external magnetizing field, all of the uncompensated electrons line up with their → spins in the direction of the field. In contrast with paramagnetic substances, in which spins interact only with an external magnetic field, in ferromagnets the spins interact with each others, each of them trying to align the others in its own direction. This coupling gives rise to a spontaneous alignment of the moments over macroscopic regions called domains. The domains undergo further alignment when the substance is subjected to an applied field. Ferromagnets retain their magnetisation even when the external magnetic field has been removed. See also → antiferromagnetism ; → diamagnetism; → magnetism.

ferro-; → magnetism.

ferrous
  فرور   
fervar

Fr.: ferreux   

Of or containing → iron, especially in the bivalent state. More specifically, iron with → oxidation number of +2, denoted iron(II) or Fe2+.

From L. ferrum "iron," + -ous a suffix forming adjectives that have the general sense "possessing, full of" a given quality.

Fervar, from fer, loan from Fr., + -var adj. suffix.

ferrous iron
  آهن ِ فرور   
âhan-e fervar

Fr.: fer ferreux, fer bivalent   

Iron in a plus-2 → oxidation state.

ferrous; → iron.

fertile
  بارور   
bârvar (#)

Fr.: fertile   

Physics: (of nuclear material) Able to become → fissile by → neutron capture.

M.E., from M.Fr. fertil, from L. fertilis "bearing in abundance, fruitful, productive," from ferre "to bear," from PIE root *bher- "to carry," also "to bear children," cognate with Pers. bordan "to carry, bear," → refer.

Bârvar, literally "fruitful," from bâr "fruit; flower; load; charge" + possession suffix -var, related to bordan "to bear, carry," as above.

fertile isotope
  ایزوتوپ ِ بارور   
izotop-e bârvar

Fr.: isotope fertile   

An → isotope not itself → fissile but that is converted into a fissile isotope, either directly or after a short → decay process following absorption of a → neutron. Example: U-238 can capture a neutron to give U-239. U-239 then decays to Np-239 which in turn decays to fissile Pu-239. The most important fertile isotope is U-238. This is by far the most abundant isotope of natural uranium, making up 99.28%. The important transformation chain is: 92U238 + 0n193Np239 + β- (23.5 minutes) → 94Pu239 + β- (2.36 days).

fertile; → isotope .

Feynman diagram
  نمودار ِ فاینمن   
nemudâr-e Feynman

Fr.: diagramme de Feynman   

A schematic representation, in quantum electrodynamics and quantum chromodynamics, of the way elementary particles like electrons and protons interact with each other by exchanging photons. Use of Feynman diagrams can greatly reduce the amount of computation involved in calculating a rate or cross section of a physical process.

After the American physicist Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988), Nobel prize 1965; → diagram.

FHB star
  ستاره‌ی ِ FHB   
setâre-ye FHB

Fr.: étoile FHB   

Same as → field horizontal branch star.

field; → horizontal; → branch; → star.

fiber
  فیبر   
fibr (#)

Fr.: fibre   

optical fiber.

From Fr. fibre, from O.Fr. fibre, from L. fibra "a fiber, filament," of uncertain origin, perhaps related to L. filum "thread."

Fibr, loan from Fr., as above.

Fibonacci number
  عدد ِ فیبوناچی   
'adad-e Fibonacci

Fr.: nombre de Fobonacci   

One of the numbers in the → Fibonacci sequence.

Fibonacci sequence; → number.

Fibonacci sequence
  پی‌آیه‌ی ِ فیبوناچی   
peyâye-ye Fibonacci

Fr.: suite de Fibonacci   

An infinite sequence of integers, starting with 0 and 1, where each element is the sum of the two previous numbers. For example: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, ... As the sequence develops, the ratio of the consecutive terms converges to the → golden ratio, about 1.618.

Leonardo Pisano Fibonacci (1170-1250), medieval Italian mathematician who wrote Liber abaci (1202; Book of the Abacus), the first European work on Indian and Arabian mathematics, which introduced "Arabic" numerals in Europe; → sequence.

2) An invented story or explanation; lie.
3) The act of inventing a story or explanation.
4) Law: Something assumed to be true for the sake of convenience, though probably false (Dictionary.com).

M.E., from O.Fr. ficcion "dissimulation, ruse; invention, fabrication" and directly from L. fictionem "a fashioning or feigning," noun of action from p.p. stem of fingere "to shape, form, devise, feign," originally "to knead, form out of clay," from PIE *dheigh- "to build, form, knead;" akin to Skt. dehah "body," literally "that which is formed," dih- "to besmear;" Gk. teikhos "wall;" L. fingere "to form, fashion," Gothic deigan "to smear;" O.Irish digen "firm, solid."
