Definition of Ionisation

1. Noun. The condition of being dissociated into ions (as by heat or radiation or chemical reaction or electrical discharge). "The ionization of a gas"

2. Noun. The process of ionizing; the formation of ions by separating atoms or molecules or radicals or by adding or subtracting electrons from atoms by strong electric fields in a gas.

Medical Definition of Ionisation

1. Any process by which a neutral atom gains or loses electrons, thus acquiring a net charge, as the dissociation of a substance in solution into ions or ion production by the passage of radioactive particles. High temperatures, electrical discharges or nuclear radiations can cause ionisation. (16 Dec 1997)

Literary usage of Ionisation

Below you will find example usage of this term as found in modern and/or classical literature:

1. A Text-book of Physics by William Watson (1905)
