A measure of the stability of a crystal lattice, given by the energy that would be released per mole if atoms, ions, or molecules of the crystal were brought together from infinite distances apart to form the lattice. SeeBorn–Haber cycle.

Geology and Earth Sciences
The work required to decompose a crystal lattice of one mole of a substance into elementary structural units, and displace them so there is a large distance between them.
