Advances in Physics

Advances in Physics is a bimonthly scientific journal published by Taylor & Francis that was established in 1952.

Allotropes of carbon

Carbon is capable of forming many allotropes (structurally different forms of the same element) due to its valency.

See Amorphous carbon and Allotropes of carbon

Allotropy

Allotropy or allotropism is the property of some chemical elements to exist in two or more different forms, in the same physical state, known as allotropes of the elements.

Amorphous solid

In condensed matter physics and materials science, an amorphous solid (or non-crystalline solid) is a solid that lacks the long-range order that is characteristic of a crystal. Amorphous carbon and amorphous solid are amorphous solids.

Aromaticity

In organic chemistry, aromaticity is a chemical property describing the way in which a conjugated ring of unsaturated bonds, lone pairs, or empty orbitals exhibits a stabilization stronger than would be expected by the stabilization of conjugation alone.
