Amorphous solids are basically the exact opposite of crystalline solids. While an amorphous solid may display some finite order in terms of the arrangement of its atoms, ions, and molecules, it will clearly lack the long-range ordered structure that a crystalline solid exhibits. The arrangement of...
Crystalline vs. Amorphous Silicon — a Comparison of their Respective Properties and their Significance in Photovoltaic ApplicationsAmorphous (thin-film) silicon is widely acknowledged as the premier low-cost material of the photovoltaic industry. However, overconcentration the single aspect of its low ...
Amorphous Solid Examples Amorphous vs. Crystalline Lesson Summary Frequently Asked Questions What is meant by an amorphous solid? An amorphous solid is a type of matter (solid, liquid, gas) that lacks regular long-range order within its atomic structure. The lack of atomic-level order differenti...

2.2.1.1 Crystalline and Amorphous Polymers Polymers can be amorphous and semicrystalline depending on the arrangements of polymeric chains. In an amorphous polymer, chains exist as random coils. Examples for amorphous polymers are polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, and atactic polystyrene. In semicryst...
In amorphous systems, acrylamide was generated in higher concentrations and at lower temperatures as compared to the crystalline samples. Time and temperature are covariant parameters in both systems affecting the acrylamide formation by thermal processes. On the other side, the water activity and glass...

Schematic representation of kinetic/thermodynamic solubility behavior of crystalline vs. amorphous drug vs. drug formulated as ASD formulation and amorphous solubility limit Full size image Due to the impact of experimental conditions on the precipitation kinetics, it may be of interest to monitor the ...
The properties and functions of crystalline oligothiophenes with well-defined structures can be controlled by varying the π-conjugation length. Extensive studies have been made of the synthesis, properties, and functions of oligomers with well-defined structures and varying conjugation lengths. They inc...
examples, microdiamonds can be grown by irradiating theamorphous filmwith nanosecond lasers at room temperature[167]; high quality graphene can be obtained by thermal annealing of amorphous carbon[168]; and amorphous carbon powders could be converted to the crystalline graphite bymicrowave heating[169...
