DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-45735-9
Abstract: Amorphous solids do not exhibit long-range order due to the disordered arrangement of atoms. They lack translational and rotational symmetry on a macroscopic scale and are therefore isotropic. As a result, differential absorption of polarized… read more here.
