noun
- the quality or state of being crystalline; the degree to which a solid material has an ordered, repeating atomic or molecular structure
Usage: commonly used in materials science, chemistry, and physics
Examples
- The crystallinity of the metal sample was measured using X-ray diffraction.
- High crystallinity in polymers often results in stronger and more rigid materials.
- The degree of crystallinity affects how light passes through the glass.
- Scientists increased the crystallinity of the compound by heating it slowly.
- Low crystallinity in some ceramics can make them more flexible than expected.
