There is a difference between isotopic and isotropic. Isotopes are variants of an atom. If I remember wel being isotropic is a property of the crystal lattice atoms are placed in. It means some other property is independent of its relation to the direction of the crystal axes. Isotropic means "the same in all directions", I believe.
