anukleált

Anukleált is a term of Hungarian origin that translates to "nucleated" in English. It is most commonly used in the context of crystallography and materials science to describe the formation of a crystalline structure. When a material transitions from an amorphous or liquid state to a solid crystalline state, nucleation is the initial step where small, ordered regions, known as nuclei, begin to form. These nuclei serve as seeds around which the larger crystal grows. The term anukleált therefore refers to something that has undergone this process of crystal formation, possessing a structure composed of these ordered nuclei. The presence and characteristics of these anukleált regions significantly influence the macroscopic properties of the material, such as its strength, hardness, and optical behavior. Understanding anukleált structures is crucial for controlling and optimizing the performance of crystalline materials in various applications.
