1. Crystal Growth, Fundamentals and Modeling, Characterization and Applications
Scope
Crystals have a fundamental role in modern technology. The development of new crystals with properties adapted to different applications, or the improvement of the existing ones based on new concepts, constitutes a major component of current research on crystalline materials. Thus, their mechanical, structural, chemical, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties are of great interest for various specific applications.
Topics
The section will concentrate on theoretical and experimental characterization of crystalline materials by different techniques, and their applications in different domains, focusing on (but not limited to) the following materials:
- semiconductor crystals
- magnetic crystals
- piezoelectric crystals
- ferroelectric crystals
- scintillating crystals
- multifunctional crystals
- rare-earth or transition-metal doped crystals
- nonlinear optical crystals
- laser crystals
