recrystallization
- noun
- /ˌriːˌkrɪs.təl.ɪˈzeɪ.ʃən/
- Specialized
- 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.

Synonyms

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.
