Scope
Single crystals have a fundamental role in modern technology. Devices performances are limited by specific properties of materials. A good knowledge of structure and essential properties, allow tailoring new hybrid or composite materials. Basic properties of single-crystalline materials are the turning point in new composition creation. The properties of thin films with polycrystalline or epitaxial structure can be tailored, starting from the properties of the bulk single-crystalline materials. The study of NLO crystals is a broad interdisciplinary area of research because it needs expertise in various fields such as computation calculations for molecular modelling, chemical syntheses, molecular engineering, optical measurements, materials processing, and fabrication of novel optoelectronic devices. However, new crystalline materials require special processing route and technology in order to produce components of complex shape, with high reliability and low cost.
