  2. Fault indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_indicator

    A fault indicator is a mechanism that conveys an indication of a fault, or absence of it, in a system. For example, the purpose of the engine-check light commonly found on the dashboard of motor vehicles is to indicate whether or not there is a fault with the engine.

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallographic_defect

    Electron microscopy of antisites (a, Mo substitutes for S) and vacancies (b, missing S atoms) in a monolayer of molybdenum disulfide.Scale bar: 1 nm. [1]A crystallographic defect is an interruption of the regular patterns of arrangement of atoms or molecules in crystalline solids.

  5. Complexometric indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complexometric_indicator

    A complexometric indicator is an ionochromic dye that undergoes a definite color change in presence of specific metal ions. [1] It forms a weak complex with the ions present in the solution, which has a significantly different color from the form existing outside the complex. Complexometric indicators are also known as pM indicators. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinistral_and_dextral

    Schematic illustration of the two strike-slip fault types. The view is of the Earth's surface from above. In geology, the terms sinistral and dextral refer to the horizontal component of the movement of blocks on either side of a fault or the sense of movement within a shear zone. These are terms of relative direction, as the movement of the ...

    As their resistivity drops with increasing temperature, degradation of the maximum operating frequency of the chip the other way is an indicator of such a fault. Mousebites are regions where metallization has a decreased width; such defects usually do not show during electrical testing but present a major reliability risk. Increased current ...

    Complexometric indicator, a chemical detector for metal ions in complexometric titrations. Humidity indicator card, a card impregnated with chemicals that change colour when a particular humidity is exceeded. pH indicator, a chemical detector for protons in acid-base titrations. Redox indicator, a chemical detector for redox titrations.

  9. Stacking fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacking_fault

    In crystallography, a stacking fault is a planar defect that can occur in crystalline materials. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Crystalline materials form repeating patterns of layers of atoms. Errors can occur in the sequence of these layers and are known as stacking faults.
