The phrase "a different crystal" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when referring to a crystal that is not the same as one previously mentioned or considered.
Example: "After examining the first sample, the scientist decided to analyze a different crystal to compare the results."
Alternatives: "another crystal" or "an alternative crystal".
Moreover, some microcrystals of marcasite (a mineral with the same chemical composition as pyrite that crystallizes in a different crystal system) were detected in the interior of some insects from French Cenomanian amber [ 15].
Further support for the formulation of 3 comes from the crystal structure of 4,[ 18] which crystallizes in a different crystal habit to 3. In 4 the As=As distance of 2.2568(14) Å is shorter than the analogous distance in 3 and is characteristic of As2.[ 23a] Also, the U As distances are shorter than in 3 at 3.0357 7) and 3.0497 8) Å that is consistent with the high charge load of As2.
This material melted at 216±1 °C, indicating a different crystal structure from the original material, in agreement with observed differences in the position and intensity of the XRPD peaks.
Zoisite has the same chemical formula as clinozoisite but has a different crystal structure.
It has the same chemical composition as the minerals cristobalite, stishovite, quartz, and tridymite but possesses a different crystal structure.
Cristobalite has the same chemical composition as coesite, stishovite, quartz, and tridymite but has a different crystal structure.
Manganese ions on such lattice sites show a different crystal-field splitting between the states of 3d orbitals, and then a red-shifted emission band is observed [32].
The 81 material shows a high conductivity and exhibits an almost completely amorphous state, but the 41 material has a very low conductivity and a completely different crystal structure with a very high melting temperature.
A slightly different crystal contact was observed when Pro6term was found in the pocket.
Note: the salt will not look like salt you are used to, it will have formed a larger, different crystal.
In the tetragonal CsPb2Br5 structure, one layer of Cs ions is sandwiched between two layers of Pb Br coordination polyhedrons, which have an obviously different crystal structure from the CsPbBr3 perovskite.
