Crystalline vs Amorphous Materials

I was reading about diffusion coefficients for common dopants when the diffusivity of Boron in crystalline Si was compared to that in amorphous Si. Decided to dig into the differences between the crystalline and amorphous materials. These are the resources I used.

Fertig’s video piqued my curiosity about how we determine these structures, hence his other crystallography video on x-ray diffraction. It introduces Bragg’s law.
