What Does APD Stand For?
APD stands for Antiphase Domain
Antiphase Domain (APD) refers to a region in a crystalline material where the atomic arrangement differs in phase from its neighboring domains. This phenomenon occurs in certain materials, particularly in semiconductors and magnetic systems, and can significantly influence their electronic, optical, and magnetic properties. The analysis of APDs is crucial for understanding phase transitions and the overall behavior of complex material structures.
