  Crystalline Materials: From Crystal Growth and Defect Engineering to Advanced Functional Applications

  By A. Ajitha, R. Ranjitham

  Abstract: Crystalline materials form the foundation of numerous modern technologies owing to their highly ordered atomic structures and exceptional physical, chemical, electrical, optical, and mechanical properties. Their periodic crystal lattices provide superior structural stability and enable precise control of electronic, thermal, and optical behavior, making them indispensable in microelectronics, photonics, energy storage, catalysis, aerospace, environmental remediation, and biomedical engineering. Rapid advances in crystal growth techniques, nanotechnology, and computational materials science have …
