Glossary

Crystallization:

Crystallization is the formation of crystals (i.e., a solid phase possessing short-, middle-, and long-range order) from a liquid or a solid. It occurs via a process consisting of two steps: nucleation and crystal growth. During nucleation, the structural units (atoms, ions, or molecules) spontaneously arrange themselves according to a regular geometry, which is specific for the crystal phase being formed. If this cluster, typically of the order of a few nanometers, has reached a critical size, which depends on the operating conditions (temperature, supersaturation, etc.), it becomes thermodynamically stable. The crystal growth is the subsequent growth of the nuclei that succeed in achieving the critical cluster size. In a crystal, the constituents are arranged in a defined and periodic manner (unit cell) that defines the crystal structure.

Durability:

Durability is the ability of a substance (or a structure) to withstand the interaction with the surrounding...
