What's the difference between glasslike and glassy?
Glasslike
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) A Monte Carlo simulation of water in a channel with charges suggests the existence of water in immobile, high density, essentially glasslike form near the charges.
(2) Glasslike behavior is expected at low temperatures.
(3) The results show a Gaussianlike distribution of conformations as a function of energy, unlike the distributions found for simple liquids which have sharp bands for different crystal forms and broad glasslike states are found.
Glassy
Definition:
(a.) Made of glass; vitreous; as, a glassy substance.
(a.) Resembling glass in its properties, as in smoothness, brittleness, or transparency; as, a glassy stream; a glassy surface; the glassy deep.
(a.) Dull; wanting life or fire; lackluster; -- said of the eyes.
Example Sentences:
