6. Glossary – Definitions
Wulff abacus; Wulff net
Abacus for reading angles on stereographic projection.
Birefringence; birefringence
Difference in refractive indices in two specific perpendicular directions.
Differential Scanning Calorimetry; Calorimétrie différentielle à balayage
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is a calorimetry technique that measures heat flow exchanges between an empty reference capsule and a capsule of identical geometry containing the sample, during an imposed temperature program. In this way, the energy released or absorbed during a transition is revealed.
Cinétique globale de cristallisation; overall crystallization kinetics
Description of crystallization progress by a quantity between 0 and 1. In this article,...
