Eponyms
- Debye shielding – In plasmas, semiconductors and electrolytes, the process by which a fixed electric charge is shielded by redistributing mobile charged particles around it.
- Debye length – The typical distance in a plasma required for full Debye shielding.
- Debye model – A model of the heat capacity of solids as a function of temperature
- Debye – a unit of electric dipole moment
- Debye relaxation – The dielectric relaxation response of an ideal, noninteracting population of dipoles to an alternating external electric field.
- Debye sheath – The non-neutral layer, several Debye lengths thick, where a plasma contacts a material surface.
- Debye-Hückel equation – A method of calculating activity coefficients
- Debye function – A function used in the calculation of heat capacity.
