epäkiteiset
Epäkiteiset is a Finnish term that translates to "amorphous" or "non-crystalline" in English. It refers to materials that lack a long-range, ordered atomic or molecular structure. Unlike crystalline materials, where atoms are arranged in a regular, repeating lattice, amorphous solids exhibit a disordered, random arrangement of their constituent particles.
Examples of epäkiteiset materials include many common substances. Glass, for instance, is a well-known amorphous solid.
The properties of epäkiteiset materials can differ significantly from their crystalline counterparts. For example, amorphous materials
