I know what you mean, Dr. Bill, I think there is a specific word for a sudden change of state like that - the crystal lattice must suddenly re-arrange into a state with lower energy. Crystallization is the closest I can think of but it's not the one I'm looking for. Let me ponder on it - I don't have any solid state physics books around me right now.
