Refers to a phase diagram used to visualize compounds and the proportions of their components; binary diagrams for two components, ternary diagrams for three components, and so on.

Quality factor

Ratio of stored energy to dissipated energy.

Dielectric resonator

A ceramic component with high dielectric constant, resonating at a specific frequency, temperature-stable, and having a low dielectric loss tangent.

Stoichiometry

Derived from the Greek "stoikheion" (element) and "metron" (measure). Here, it refers to a chemical reaction in which the proportions of the reactants are maintained. If there is an excess of one of the reactants or a deficiency, the reaction will be stoichiometric or sub-stoichiometric,...
