Heavisiden.

Brit.

/ˈhɛvɪsʌɪd/, U.S.

/ˈhɛviˌsaɪd/

Etymology: < the name of O. Heaviside (1850–1925), English physicist.

Physics.

Used attributively to designate concepts proposed by Heaviside; esp. Heaviside layer, an ionized layer in the upper atmosphere able to reflect long radio waves (now usually called E layer of the ionosphere); Heaviside–Lorentz units (H. A. Lorentz, 1853–1928, Dutch physicist), or Heaviside rational units, units of electric charge or magnetic pole defined in a certain manner which simplifies many formulæ; Heaviside unit function, a function which is zero when its argument is negative, and unity when its argument is positive; used esp. in Telecommunications.
