Hello All,
It seems that it is very common to talk about "crystallinity" in terms of a well crystallized material dispersed in a non-crystalline one. It is also reasonable, of course, to use the term "crystallinity" to refer to the crystal quality of a homogenous material. Is anyone aware of methods or references that discuss differentiation of these possibilities from XRD (or other) types of data? What if one has a mixture of a very highly defective semi-crystalline material in an amorphous one?
"Crystallinity" possibility 1:
Highly crystalline material dispersed in a vitreous one (2 materils)
"Crystallinity" possibility 2:
Homogenous but highly defected semi-crystalline material (1 material)
"Crystallinity" possibility 3:
Highly defected semi-crystalline material in a glass (two materials)
Any thoughts on how these possibilities are distinguished? Any leads on references?
Thanks in advance!
-Matt
