Study Notes
Crystallization
- Crystallization process begins with small crystallite nuclei.
- Crystallites grow, colliding and obstructing each other.
- Upon completion of solidification, irregularly shaped grains are formed.
Isotropy and Anisotropy
- Isotropic substances have properties independent of the direction of measurement
- Anisotropy refers to the dependence of properties on direction.
- Anisotropy is influenced by crystal structure symmetry.
- Triclinic structures exhibit high anisotropy due to low symmetry.
Mechanical Properties of Materials
- Modulus of elasticity varies based on crystallographic orientation.
- Polycrystalline materials typically have randomly oriented grains.
Diffraction of Waves
- Scattered waves with similar wavelengths can interfere constructively or destructively depending on their phase.
- Waves out of phase after scattering lead to destructive interference.
- Specific crystallographic planes can prevent diffraction, depending on the crystal structure.
