Also known as crystallisation

Crystallization is a process that leads to solids with a uniform pattern of atoms or molecules, i.e. a crystal. The uniform nature of a crystalline solid can be contrasted with amorphous solids in which atoms or molecules lack regular organization. Crystallization can occur by various routes including precipitation from solution, freezing of a liquid, or deposition from a gas. Attributes of the resulting crystal can depend largely on factors such as temperature, air pressure, cooling rate, or solute concentration.

AI overview

Crystallization is a process that produces solids with atoms or molecules arranged in a uniform, repeating pattern—unlike amorphous solids where atoms are randomly organized. This process matters because the properties of the resulting crystal depend heavily on conditions like temperature, pressure, and cooling rate, making crystallization important for controlling material quality in applications ranging from pharmaceuticals to materials science.
