Unlike crystalline materials, which exhibit strong Bragg diffraction, the diffraction patterns of amorphous materials are characterized by broad and diffuse peaks. [15] As a result, detailed analysis and complementary techniques are required to extract real space structural information from the diffraction patterns of amorphous materials.
Candy, alternatively called sweets or lollies, [a] is a confection that features sugar as a principal ingredient. The category, also called sugar confectionery, encompasses any sweet confection, including chocolate, chewing gum, and sugar candy. Vegetables, fruit, or nuts which have been glazed and coated with sugar are said to be candied.
