单词 susceptibility
释义
susceptibility

Physics
  • 1. (magnetic susceptibility) Symbol χ‎m. The dimensionless quantity describing the contribution made by a substance when subjected to a magnetic field to the total magnetic flux density present. It is equal to μ‎r−1, where μ‎r is the relative permeability of the material. Diamagnetic materials have a low negative susceptibility, paramagnetic materials have a low positive susceptibility, and ferromagnetic materials have a high positive value.

    2. (electric susceptibility) Symbol χ‎e. The dimensionless quantity referring to a dielectric equal to P/ε‎0E, where P is the electric polarization, E is the electric intensity producing it, and ε‎0 is the electric constant. The electric susceptibility is also equal to ε‎r−1, where ε‎r is the relative permittivity of the dielectric.


Electronics and Electrical Engineering
  • 1. (magnetic susceptibility) (symbol: χm) A dimensionless quantity given by

    χm=μr1

    where μr is the relative permeability of a material. Magnetic susceptibility describes the response of a material to a magnetic field, being the ratio of magnetization to magnetic field strength:

    χm=MH

    χm is a tensor when M is not parallel to H, otherwise it is a simple number. For crystalline material χm may depend on the direction of the field with respect to the crystal axes because of anisotropic effects. It has a wide range of values: diamagnetic materials have a negative value; paramagnetic materials (see paramagnetism) have a small positive value; ferromagnetic materials can have a very large variable value (up to about one), which is dependent on the magnetic field strength (see magnetic hysteresis).

    2. (electric susceptibility) (symbol: χe) A dimensionless quantity given by

    χe=εr1

    where εr is the relative permittivity. Electric susceptibility measures the ease of polarization of a dielectric and is given by the ratio

    χe=Pε0E

    where P is the dielectric polarization, E the electric field strength, and ε0 the permittivity of free space.


Geography
  • The degree to which an environment, landform, or organism is sensitive to a particular factor. A landslide zonation map divides the land surface into zones of varying landscape susceptibility, based on the estimated significance of causal factors in inducing instability. Such maps identify and delineate potentially unstable areas, so that suitable mitigation strategies can be used, and help planners choose favourable locations for siting development schemes (Tangestani (2004) Australian J. Earth Scis 51, 3). See Sandercock et al. (2007) PPG 31, 2 on a vegetation-susceptibility index, defining the force required to bend vegetation to 45° from the vertical; see Märker et al. (2008) Geomorph. 93, 1–2 on land degradation susceptibility.
