WHAT DOES CRYSTALLINE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Crystallinity

Crystallinity refers to the degree of structural order in a solid. In a crystal, the atoms or molecules are arranged in a regular, periodic manner. The degree of crystallinity has a big influence on hardness, density, transparency and diffusion. In a gas, the relative positions of the atoms or molecules are completely random. Amorphous materials, such as liquids and glasses, represent an intermediate case, having order over short distances but not over longer distances. Many materials, can be prepared in such a way as to produce a mixture of crystalline and amorphous regions. In such cases, crystallinity is usually specified as a percentage of the volume of the material that is crystalline. Even within materials that are completely crystalline, however, the degree of structural perfection can vary. For instance, most metallic alloys are crystalline, but they usually comprise many independent crystalline regions in various orientations separated by grain boundaries; furthermore, they contain other crystal defects that reduce the degree of structural perfection.

Definition of crystalline in the English dictionary

The first definition of crystalline in the dictionary is having the characteristics or structure of crystals. Other definition of crystalline is consisting of or containing crystals. Crystalline is also made of or like crystal; transparent; clear.
