What Does APB Stand For?
APB stands for Antiphase Boundary Crystal Chemistry
APB, or Antiphase Boundary Crystal Chemistry, refers to the study of crystal structures characterized by the presence of antiphase boundaries, which are defects dividing regions of a crystal that exhibit opposite orientations or arrangements of atoms. This field explores how these boundaries influence the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of materials, impacting phenomena such as conductivity, magnetism, and structural stability. Understanding APB is crucial for advancing the design of novel materials with tailored properties for applications in electronics, thermoelectrics, and other technologies.
