Vitrifisering
Vitrifisering is a process of converting a substance into a glass-like solid. Unlike crystallization, which involves the formation of a highly ordered crystalline structure, vitrifikation results in a disordered, amorphous solid. This occurs when a liquid is cooled rapidly enough that its molecules do not have sufficient time to arrange themselves into a crystalline lattice. Instead, they become trapped in a rigid, non-crystalline state.
The phenomenon of vitrifikation is observed in various natural and artificial processes. For example, volcanic lava,
