ζ\zeta — Zeta

Lowercase zeta (ζ) is best known for the zeta potential — the electric potential at a particle's slipping plane in colloid chemistry. It is also used as an alternate symbol for the damping ratio.

SI unit: V (as zeta potential)

Used in

  • Zeta potential in colloid and nanoparticle stability
  • Damping ratio in vibration analysis
