MECHANISM, KINETICS OF FORMATION AND GROWING NONLINEAR CRYSTALS FOR OPTOELECTRONICS

Abstract

The goal of this paper is the further development of theory and methods of kinetics and mechanisms of the crystal nucleation and growth as well as a systematic experimental research of the crystal genesis. We also aimed on a systematic analysis of the available data on the relationship of structural properties of crystals and liquid phases with the processes of the formation and growth. On the basis of this analysis, general methods of design and growth of perfect inorganic crystals may be proposed including production of some known and new acentric crystals for fundamental and allied physics.
