What is the defining characteristic of a non-centrosymmetric material?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
The absence of an inversion center
💡 Explanation:
A non-centrosymmetric material lacks an inversion center, which means that it is not symmetric under the operation of inversion through a point. This absence of inversion symmetry can lead to unique electronic and magnetic properties.
