2 !! Why materials synthesis? If you can make samples, then you can pursue the science that appeals to you: Magnetic materials, metals, insulators, superconductors, etc. If you know how to cook, you can create what you want. Pizza Seafood Stew 2 Managed by UT-Battelle

3 !! Definition of crystal? In a crystal, the constituent atoms are arranged in an orderly repeating pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions. Spatial extent of the ordered regions (crystallites): Crystal poly-/micro-crystalline nanocrystalline amorphous ~ mm ~ µm ~ nm < nm 3 Managed by UT-Battelle

4 !! Why single crystals?! Aesthetics gemstones Ruby Al 2 O 3 with ~ 1% Cr Diamond C Sapphire Al 2 O 3 with ~ 0.01 % Ti & Fe Emerald Be 3 Al 2 (SiO 3 ) 6 With Cr or V dopants 4 Managed by UT-Battelle

5 !! Why single crystals?! Find intrinsic properties (no grain boundaries, anisotropic)! Application in devices Silicon chips YAG-lasers Nd:Y 3 Al 5 O 12 5 Managed by UT-Battelle

6 !! What are the crystal growth techniques? 6 Managed by UT-Battelle B. R. Pamplin, Crystal Growth, Pergamonpress (1980).

7 !! What are the crystal growth techniques? Growth from gas phase precipitation from gas phase! solid! gas! xtal Chemical vapor transport need a transport agent Pulsed laser deposition need a substrate or seed Issues: Induce a phase transition homogeneous gas phase to solid + unsaturated gas Control conditions for supersaturation, usually by control of temperature gradients 7 Managed by UT-Battelle

8 !! What are the crystal growth techniques? Growth from a mixture of solids (no melting) kinetic and thermodynamic factors are important Issues: Crystals are micron size! Phase segregation, grain boundaries 8 Managed by UT-Battelle

9 !! What are the crystal growth techniques? Growth from the liquid phase! solid! liquid! solid Variations are Bridgman, Czochralski (pulling), Kyropoulos (top seeding), Verneuil (flame fusion), tri-arc, skull melting, image float-zone Issues: Induce a phase transition liquid to solid Control of temperature and gradients High melting points > 2000 C (confirmation of melting!)

10 !! What are the crystal growth techniques? Growth from solution precipitation from supersaturated solution Aqueous & organic solvents Inorganic solvent (flux, high T) Hydrothermal (high P & T) Issues: induce a phase transition homogeneous solution to solid + unsaturated solution control conditions for supersaturation concentration (evaporation of solvent), temperature (solubility or saturation is a function of temperature) reactivity of container (crucible) inclusion of solvent in crystals 10 Managed by UT-Battelle
