Crystallite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) |
 | | A crystallite is a domain of solid-state matter that has the same structure as a single crystal. |
| | The crystallised matter is rarely found as single crystal, except for a few cases (gems, silicon single crystals for the electronic industry, single crystals of a nickel-based superalloy for the military aircraft engines). |
| | Metallurgists often refer to "grains"; thus, the boundary between two crystallites is the grain boundary, the fracture can be an intergranular fracture or a transgranular fracture. |
