Characterization of NLO crystal potassium dihydrogen phosphate KDP doped with rare earth metals grown by slow evaporation seed rotation technique and SR method

Abstract

Crystal growth is a universal phenomenon in the field of materials. It has a long history of evolution by the invention of the transistor in 1948, and the subsequent need for high purity Semiconductor Single Crystals. As a result, Crystal Growth has developed into a core discipline in Materials Science. The evolution of our knowledge of crystal growth requires not only scientific understanding, but the driving force of applied technology which so often provides a significant influence in highlighting our lack of scientific knowledge and the need for a more refined science and indeed the development of new concepts. newline
