  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. Ostwald ripening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostwald_ripening

    One example of Ostwald ripening is the re-crystallization of water within ice cream which gives old ice cream a gritty, crunchy texture. Larger ice crystals grow at the expense of smaller ones within the ice cream, creating a coarser texture.

  4. Cumulate rock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulate_rock

    The chemistry of a cumulate can inform upon the temperature, pressure and chemistry of the melt from which it was formed, but the number of minerals which co-precipitate need to be known, as does the chemistry or mineral species of the precipitated minerals. [2] This is best illustrated by an example;

  5. 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.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Epitaxy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epitaxy

    Homoepitaxy is a kind of epitaxy performed with only one material, in which a crystalline film is grown on a substrate or film of the same material. This technology is often used to grow a more pure film than the substrate and to fabricate layers with different doping levels.

  8. Theoretical chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theoretical_chemistry

    Theoretical chemistry is the branch of chemistry which develops theoretical generalizations that are part of the theoretical arsenal of modern chemistry: for example, the concepts of chemical bonding, chemical reaction, valence, the surface of potential energy, molecular orbitals, orbital interactions, and molecule activation.

  9. 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
