, Single Crystal - ANS Periodic atom arrangement without grain boundaries.
Polycrystalline - ANS Multiple crystals with varying orientations.
Grain Boundary - ANS Boundary where atomic alignment differs in polycrystalline materials.
Anisotropy - ANS Directional property variation in materials.
Isotropy - ANS Uniform property distribution in all directions.
X-ray Diffraction - ANS Analyzing crystal structures using x-ray patterns, following Bragg's Law.
Bragg's Law - ANS Relates x-ray diffraction angles to crystal lattice spacing.
Crystalline defect - ANS Lattice irregularities in solids
Vacancies - ANS Empty atom sites in a crystal lattice
Self-interstitials - ANS Atoms positioned in the interstitial spaces of a crystal lattice
Equilibrium number of vacancies equation - ANS Ratio of vacancies to total atom sites
Hume-Rothery rules - ANS Guidelines for solid solution formation
Atomic size factor (Hume-Rothery) - ANS solid solution only when the difference in atomic
radii between the two atom types is less than about ±15%. Otherwise, the solute atoms create
substantial lattice distortions and a new phase forms
