For a long time, scientists associated crystal structures with an ordered arrangement of atoms in a repeating lattice-like pattern, believing it to be the most stable configuration. However, by the ...

Crystal structures underpin the physical properties of materials, while intermetallic compounds—characterised by well‐defined stoichiometries and ordered arrangements of metallic elements—offer a rich ...
