Adjective

1. Describes the [[isothermal]] [[reversible]] change of a [[solid]] phase to form two different solid phases during [[cooling]]. This differs from a [[eutectoid]] in that a monotectoid includes two phases separated by a [[miscibility]] gap, and thus have the same crystal structure but different compositions.
