ACOUSTOELECTRONICS

The branch of electronics that involves use of acoustic waves at microwave frequencies (above 500 megahertz), traveling on or in piezoelectric or other solid substrates. Also known as pretersonics.

CRYOTRONICS

The branch of electronics that deals with the design, construction, and use of cryogenic devices.

CRYOELECTRONICS

A branch of electronics concerned with the study and application of superconductivity and other low-temperature phenomena to electronic devices and systems. Also known as cryolectronics.

MICRO HEAT PIPE

A very small heat pipe that has a diameter between about 100 micrometers and 2 millimeters (0.004 and 0.08 inch) and a triangular cross section or other cross section with sharp corners, and that uses the sharp corner regions instead of a wick to return the working fluid from the condenser to the evaporator; it has potential applications in the electronics (cooling circuit chips), medical, space, and aircraft industries.

OPTOELECTRONICS

1. The branch of electronics that deals with solid-state and other electronic devices for generating, modulating, transmitting, and sensing electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet, visible-light, and infrared portions of the spectrum. 2. See photonics.
