A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Crystalline and amorphous solids

Crystalline solids possess a long‑range periodic arrangement of atoms or molecules, giving rise to a well‑defined lattice and Bragg diffraction patterns. Amorphous solids lack such long‑range order; their atoms are arranged randomly, yet they still exhibit short‑range order.
