5. recrystallization
   the reformation of the crystal lattice structure in a semiconductor material in which severe damage has occurred to the crystal,(for example as in ion-implantation disordering),by heating the crystal to a temperature high enough for the misplaced atoms to return to their correct lattice sites in suf...

11. Recrystallization
    [metallurgy] Recrystallization is a process by which deformed grains are replaced by a new set of undeformed grains that nucleate and grow until the original grains have been entirely consumed. Recrystallization is usually accompanied by a reduction in the strength and hardness of a material...

12. Recrystallization
    [geology] In geology, solid-state recrystallization is a metamorphic process that occurs under situations of intense temperature and pressure where grains, atoms or molecules of a rock or mineral are packed closer together, creating a new crystal structure. The basic composition remains the ...
