“…Nanoscience and nanotechnology has been established as an important area, which makes it equally important to characterize these materials which were considered amorphous for long. , At the junction of the (poly-)crystalline and amorphous, in a particular crystallite size window, , a size-dependent property variation was observed, which marks the domain of the nanoscience. , The length of ordered material (in the crystallinity) remained the distinguishing parameter between the three phases of solid, crystalline, , nanocrystalline, and amorphous, with crystalline material having the longest range of order of crystallinity, whereas amorphous material has the least. The distance up to which a (poly-)crystalline solid maintains the crystallinity defines the degree of order, which is quantified by the crystallite size. Though the crystallite size quantifies the degree of order in crystalline materials, ambiguity remains inherently, while quantifying the term in amorphous material as the range of the order is rather “short” and usually not defined even empirically.…”
