| An amorphous material is one that may have short range atomic order but that lacks the translational symmetry (long range order) of a crystalline solid. Glasses are an example of amorphous materials and the two terms are frequently used interchangeably. A material with a microcrystalline structure is not an amorphous material. | |||||||
