What Does BOO Stand For?
BOO stands for Bond Orientational Order
Bond Orientational Order (BOO) is a quantitative measure used in materials science and condensed matter physics to describe the local structural arrangement of atoms or molecules in a substance. It assesses the extent to which bonds between neighboring particles are oriented in a consistent direction, providing insights into the degree of order or disorder within a material. BOO is particularly relevant in the study of crystalline and liquid crystalline phases, as well as in analyzing phase transitions and network structures in various materials.
