Solid : Crystl vs. Amorphous (glssy) Ordered rry of toms Disordered rrngement Competition between ttrctive (binding) force nd repulsive force. Regulr rry lowers system energy. Complicted! -- difficult to predict the structure of mterils 3
Importnce : structure plys mjor role in determining physicl properties of solids Determintion : X-ry nd neutron scttering re key tools for determining crystl structures. (bulk) Also microscopic techniques such s SEM, TEM, STM, AFM (surfce) Devitions : There is no perfect crystl. Mny key properties depend on devition more.
