Preferred Label : phase domain;
IUPAC definition : Region of a material that is uniform in chemical composition and physical state.;
Scope note : the prefixes micro-, and nano- are frequently incorrectly used to qualify the term
phase instead of the term domain; hence, microphase domain, and nanophase domain are
often used. the correct terminology that should be used is phase microdomain and phase
nanodomain.; the term domain may be qualified by the adjective microscopic or nanoscopic or the
prefix micro- or nano- according to the size of the linear dimensions of the domain.; a phase in a multiphase material can form domains differing in size.;
