Crystals are formed when atoms line up in patterns and solidify. There are crystals everywhere — in the form of salt‚ sugar‚ sand‚ diamonds‚ quartz‚ and many more! To make crystals‚ you need to make a very special kind of solution called a supersaturated solid solution. Here’s what that means: if you add salt by the spoonful to a cup of water‚ you’ll reach a point where the salt doesn’t disappear (dissolve) anymore and forms a lump at the bottom of the glass. The point at which it begins

However‚ such an idealized solid does not exist; all contain large numbers of various defects or imperfections. As a matter of fact‚ many of the properties of materials are profoundly sensitive to

Strategy and the Crystal Cycle John A. Mathews ne of the unexplored areas of business dynamics is how the cyclical behavior of certain important industries poses strategic issues for incumbent firms as well as challengers. All frameworks used in strategy (such as the Porter’s “competitive forces” framework) attempt to capture the decisions made by businesses in the attempt to influence their “business landscape” (to use the language of Ghemawat).1 However‚ the frameworks rarely place these business

Paragraph 1: Temperature; driver for the change of symmetry There are 3 different phases that are observed and each of them are influenced by temperature. In addition‚ in each phase‚ the polymorph exhibits different crystal structures. At room temperature of 298K‚ it will be in phase 3 where it takes the structure of monoclinic-C2/m. When the temperature rises to 396K‚ it undergoes a transition into Phase 2 also known as the high-temperature monoclinic-A2/a phase. At Phase 2‚ the lattice parameters
