multicrystalline



A material that is solidified at such as rate that many small, variously oriented, crystals (crystallites) form. The atoms within a single crystallite are symmetrically arranged, whereas crystallites are jumbled together. These numerous grain boundaries reduce the device efficiency. Sometimes referred to as polycrystalline or semicrystalline.
