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 ...

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

A semiconductor that uses a silicon or gallium arsenide substrate composed of a single crystal. Its atomic structure is the same throughout the material. Contrast with amorphous semiconductor.

Researchers demonstrate a novel way to control the colour of quantum light at room temperature, unlocking new applications in ...

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, displaying a network of irregularly ... resulting in distinct properties not found in crystalline carbon ...

"It supports interband plasmonics and can switch between amorphous and crystalline phases, which allows us to control how it interacts with light and electrons. When we combine it with high ...
