As is well known, amorphous materials typically have lower density than crystalline phases. As a result, the change in shape and volume for an applied load is anticipated to be greater for ...

If the material is initially amorphous, the molecules will have a random organization ... necking occurs in one region and the molecular structure starts to have the symmetry of a crystalline material ...

An intense laser or current pulse heats and melts the crystalline material, which is subsequently quenched into the amorphous state. To switch the material back into the crystalline state ...

The team has developed a range of engineering materials by assembling amorphous/crystalline micro/nano particles in a specific way. These materials are strong and tough (qualities typically seen as ...

The image shows an atomic-scale visualization of monolayer amorphous carbon's structure ... resulting in distinct properties not found in crystalline carbon materials. Despite its promise, MAC faces ...

A research team studied how iridium and palladium nanoparticles can change the properties of catalysts with minor degradation ...

In the soft layers, the molecules lack structure and form a soft, amorphous mass. When thousands of these layers are stacked ...

The melting of crystals is the process by which an increase in temperature induces the disruption of the ordered crystalline ...

Its atomic structure is the same throughout the material. Contrast with amorphous semiconductor. See crystalline silicon. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. All other reproduction requires ...
