In liquids, due to rapid motion a lot of the effects average out. That may result in a loss of information, but more often gains information due to less spectral overlap in non-crystalline samples.

There’s nothing like a refreshing sip of drink from an amorphous or non-crystalline solid However, what you are holding is one of the most unusual solids of them all. Glass is what is known as ...

Structural disorder increases the capacitance of carbon supercapacitor electrodes, according to new findings from a team of ...

Amorphous metals, also known as metallic glasses, are metallic materials that have a non-crystalline structure. Most amorphous metals are alloys rather than pure metals. These materials have atoms of ...

Synthetic graphite is made by subjecting amorphous (non-crystalline) carbon to enormously high temperatures to rearrange the carbon atoms into the proper crystal structure. Choice of feedstock is ...

Researchers are using a new method to switch a light source required for optogenetic analyses even in centimeter-deep tissue ...

Electronic grade silicon, in polycrystalline (“poly”) and amorphous (glass-like non-crystalline) forms is used in photovoltaic (solar) cells and thin film transistors. Poly is also used to form ...

Polymorphism is not limited to crystals and is referred to as polyamorphism in non-crystalline solids. Amorphous Si shows an irreversible sharp transition to an amorphous metallic phase near 16 GPa.

as well as the different techniques that use synchrotron radiation to analyse the electronic properties and structure of crystalline and non-crystalline materials and surfaces. Explains applications ...

THE trend of fibre research to-day is towards a X clearer understanding of the parts played by the crystalline and non-crystalline fractions in determining the properties of the fibre, and this is ...

Glass Glass materials have a random, liquid-like (non-crystalline) molecular structure. They are heated to a temperature sufficient to produce a completely fused melt. Raw material for glass includes ...
