  2. Crystallographic texture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_(chemistry)

    Pole figures displaying crystallographic texture of gamma-TiAl in an alpha2-gamma alloy, as measured by high energy X-rays. [1] In materials science and related fields, crystallographic texture is the distribution of crystallographic orientations of a polycrystalline sample. A sample in which these orientations are fully random or is amorphous ...

  3. Liquid crystal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_crystal

    A large number of chemical compounds are known to exhibit one or several liquid crystalline phases. Despite significant differences in chemical composition, these molecules have some common features in chemical and physical properties. There are three types of thermotropic liquid crystals: discotic, conic (bowlic), and rod-shaped molecules.

  4. Texture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture

    Texture (cosmology), a theoretical topological defect in the structure of spacetime; Crystallographic texture, distribution of crystallographic orientations in a polycrystalline material; Texture (geology), a physical appearance or character of a rock; Texture mapping, a bitmap image applied to a surface in computer graphics

  5. Peridotite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peridotite

    Many show poikilitic texture in which crystallization of this liquid has produced crystals that overgrow and enclose the original cumulus crystals (called chadrocrysts). [52] Another texture is a well-annealed texture of equal sized anhedral crystals with straight grain boundaries intersecting at 120°. This may result when slow cooling allowed ...

  6. Wet chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_chemistry

    Wet chemistry is a form of analytical chemistry that uses classical methods such as observation to ... This can include a change in color, smell, texture, etc. [9] [10]

  7. Petrology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrology

    Igneous and metamorphic petrology are commonly taught together because both make heavy use of chemistry, chemical methods, and phase diagrams. Sedimentary petrology is commonly taught together with stratigraphy because it deals with the processes that form sedimentary rock. [3] Modern sedimentary petrology is making increasing use of chemistry.

  8. Homogeneity and heterogeneity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogeneity_and_heterogeneity

    Homogeneity and heterogeneity; only ' b ' is homogeneous Homogeneity and heterogeneity are concepts relating to the uniformity of a substance, process or image.A homogeneous feature is uniform in composition or character (i.e., color, shape, size, weight, height, distribution, texture, language, income, disease, temperature, radioactivity, architectural design, etc.); one that is heterogeneous ...

  9. Texture (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_(geology)

    In geology, texture or rock microstructure [1] refers to the relationship between the materials of which a rock is composed. [2] The broadest textural classes are crystalline (in which the components are intergrown and interlocking crystals), fragmental (in which there is an accumulation of fragments by some physical process), aphanitic (in which crystals are not visible to the unaided eye ...
