Single Crystal A Single Crystal has an atomic structure that repeats periodically across its whole volume.Even at infinite length scales,each atom is related to every other equivalent atom in the structure by translational symmetry. Single Crystals Single Pyrite Amorphous Crystal Solid

Polycrystalline Solids A Polycrystalline Solid is made up of an aggregate of many small single crystals have a high degree of order over many atomic or molecular dimensions,vary in size orientation with respect to one another.These regions are called grains (or domains) are separated from one another by grain boundaries. Polycrystals with grains that are 10 nm in diameter are called nanocrystallites Grain Boundaries (Differently red Crystals)
Polycrystalline Solids A Polycrystalline Solid is made up of an aggregate of many small single crystals , have a high degree of order over many atomic or molecular dimensions, vary in size & orientation with respect to one another. These regions are called grains (or domains) & are separated from one another by grain boundaries. Polycrystals with grains that are < 10 nm in diameter are called nanocrystallites
Amorphous Solids Amorphous (Non-crystalline)Solids are composed of randomly orientated atoms,ions,or molecules that do not form defined patterns or lattice structures.Amorphous materials have order only within a few atomic or molecular dimensions.They do not have any long-range order,but they have varying degrees of short-range order.Examples of amorphous material include amorphous silicon,plastics, glasses
Amorphous Solids • Amorphous (Non-crystalline) Solids are composed of randomly orientated atoms, ions, or molecules that do not form defined patterns or lattice structures. Amorphous materials have order only within a few atomic or molecular dimensions. They do not have any long-range order, but they have varying degrees of short-range order. Examples of amorphous material include amorphous silicon, plastics, & glasses
