  • This shift in peak position at lower wavenumbers can be attributed to the formation of polycrystalline silicon during melting and subsequent recrystallization of the silicon wafer with a slight tensile stress caused by laser damage.

Examples

  • The amount of recrystallization solvent used in the recrystallization process of the present invention depends on, among other things, the scale of the reaction and the solubility of crude tadalafil in the particular organic solvent.

Morphology

recrystallization = recrystallize (transparent) = re + crystal + ize + ation

This is a standard noun formation from the verb 'recrystallize' meaning the process of doing that action.

Etymology

Recrystallization comes from re- meaning 'again' and crystal, an old word for 'ice' or clear stone. In chemistry it means you make crystals again to separate and keep the 'pure' solid, so the name reminds you that crystals are formed again to remove impurities.
