What are polycrystalline solids?
(N/A) - Some solids appear to be amorphous but actually possess microcrystalline structures. Such substances are known as polycrystalline solids.
- Example: Metals are often found in a polycrystalline state.
- In a metal sample,individual crystals are randomly oriented,which makes the bulk material appear isotropic even though the individual crystals are anisotropic.
