pwhodges:
I linked Wikipedia; but Dyad is a useful word.

Incidentally, double stopping (as a technique) doesn't necessarily generate a chord.  It is quite frequent that double stopping is used to generate a unison between two strings.  Bartók does this a lot, from his First String Quartet through his Violin Concerto to his late Sonata for Solo Violin.  

Of course we could now argue whether two strings playing the same note form a unison chord  :evil: - well, it's hardly an interval, is it!

IronOxide:
If we really want to play that game, due to tuning issues on the violin, that is just a microtonal dyad outside of our traditional tonal system.

Scarychips:
but if a chord is the "juxtaposition" of notes, how can you play, say, a d-minor chord on the violin?
