Crystal growth

Solar energy has been considered as very promising in term of a potential cost effective and environmentally friendly technology for energy production. Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are an exciting new type of solar cell technology that has attracted enormous attention recently.…

The crystal growth of nanoporous materials is different from most other classes of material in that their framework architectures contain periodic arrangement of pores or voids in which there is no direct bonding between adjacent units of the framework. This poses a variety of q…

Several members of the ABC-6 zeolite family, namely offretite, zeolite T, ZSM-34 and zeolite L, were synthesised with a view to studying the effect of synthetic parameters on the resulting crystal properties. A range of procedures for producing offretite and ZSM-34 were tested, …

Sr₃Ru₂O₇ is a quasi-two-dimensional metal and has a paramagnetic ground state that is heavily renormalised by electron-electron correlations and magnetic exchange interactions. Inextricably linked to this renormalisation is the metamagnetism of Sr₃Ru₂O₇ - a rapid rise in uniform…

The crystal growth of ZnO-TeO2 system was experimented by Czochralski and Bridgman techniques. The series of many runs and experimentations helped optimize the growth process, which was faced by a lot of difficulties. These difficulties include, but are not limited to, the evapo…
