| at a given frequency, depth at which the current density in a conducting material is reduced to 1/e times the surface current density Note 1 to entry: The corresponding phenomenon is the "skin effect" (see IEV 121-13-18). Note 2 to entry: In English, "skin depth" is a synonym for "penetration depth" of an electromagnetic wave (see IEV 705-03-25). Note 3 to entry: In French, "profondeur de pénétration" has different meanings for an electromagnetic wave (see IEV 705-03-25) and in the fields of superconductivity-related technology (see IEV 815-10-33) and industrial electroheat (see IEV 841-27-21).
