In condensed matter physics and materials science, an amorphous solid (or non-crystalline solid) is a solid that lacks the long-range order that is characteristic of a crystal.

An amorphous solid is any non-crystalline solid that does not organize the atoms and molecules in a definite lattice pattern. There are glass, plastic, and gel solids which come under the category of amorphous solid.

Amorphous solid, any noncrystalline solid in which the atoms and molecules are not organized in a definite lattice pattern. Such solids include glass, plastic, and gel. Solids and liquids are both forms of condensed matter; both are composed of atoms in close proximity to each other.

2024年3月5日 · An amorphous solid is a type of solid material that lacks the long-range order characteristic of crystalline solids. In other words, the atoms or molecules in an amorphous solid are arranged in a disordered or random manner.

2023年4月12日 · Amorphous solids have two characteristic properties. When cleaved or broken, they produce fragments with irregular, often curved surfaces; and they have poorly defined patterns when exposed to x-rays because their components are not arranged in a regular array. An amorphous, translucent solid is called a glass.

2022年9月21日 · An amorphous solid is a solid that lacks an ordered internal structure. Examples of amorphous solids include glass, rubber, and plastics. The physical properties of amorphous solids differ from those of crystalline solids.

2020年1月28日 · Amorphous solids are solids that have no regular crystal pattern to their constituent atoms or molecules. This leads to many fascinating properties, including curved edges when broken and gradual melting instead of a set melting point. Examples of amorphous solids include glass, rubber and plastic.
