Definitions
- 1 The seepage or filtration of a liquid through a porous substance. countable, uncountable
"With simultaneous measurement of channel conductivity and its slow time-dependent fluctuation (or noise) in ultra-thin WSe2 and MoS2 FETs on insulating SiO2 substrates, where noise arises from McWhorter-type carrier number fluctuations, we establish that the switching in conventional backgated TMDC FETs is a classical percolation transition in a medium of inhomogeneous carrier density distribution."
- 2 the filtration of a liquid for extraction or purification wordnet
- 3 the act of making coffee in a percolator wordnet
- 4 the slow passage of a liquid through a filtering medium wordnet
