We show a strong mesoscopic transverse growth arrest that co-exists with a high-speed longitudinal growth in single-crystalline KDP crystals with large aspect ratios. To explain this unique growth morphology, which cannot be explained by…

Measurements of the anisotropic properties of single crystals play a crucial role in probing the physics of new materials. Determining a growth protocol that yields suitable high-quality single crystals can be particularly challenging for…

Millimeter sized single crystals of CaFe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$AsF were grown using a self-flux method. It is found that high-quality single crystals can be grown from three approaches with different initial raw materials. The chemical compositions…

Single crystal growth is a widely explored method of synthesizing materials in the solid state. The last few decades have seen significant improvements in the techniques used to synthesize single crystals, but there has been comparatively…

Here, we report successful single crystal growth of SnSb2Te4 using the self-flux method. Unidirectional crystal growth is confirmed through X Ray Diffraction (XRD) pattern taken on mechanically cleaved crystal flake while the rietveld…

Crystals in nature often demonstrate curved morphologies rather than classical faceted surfaces. Inspired by biogenic curved single crystals, we demonstrate that gold single crystals exhibiting curved surfaces can be grown with no need of…

The growth of crystals confined in porous or cellular materials is ubiquitous in Nature and industry. Confinement affects the formation of biominerals in living organisms, of minerals in the Earth's crust and of salt crystals damaging…

Designing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) synthesis protocols is currently largely driven by trial-and-error, since we lack fundamental understanding of the molecular level mechanisms that underlie their self-assembly processes. Previous…

A description is given of the traveling solvent technique, which has been used for the crystal growth of both congruently and incongruently melting materials of many classes of intermetallic, chalcogenide, semiconductor and oxide materials.…

Highly-perfect platelet single crystals of Tl_2Ba_2CuO_{6+d} (Tl-2201) were grown by a self-flux technique. A novel encapsulation scheme allowed the precursors to react prior to the sealing required to contain volatile thallium oxides, and…

Incorporation of $\mathrm{Al_{y}Ga_{1-y}N}$ (AGN) semiconductors into high power electronics offers efficiency improvements in power transmission, generation, and use, if approaches to eliminate the defects arising from film-lattice…

Centimeter sized platelet single crystals of KFe2As2 were grown using a self-flux method. An encapsulation technique using commercial stainless steel container allowed the stable crystal growth lasting for more than 2 weeks. Ternary K-Fe-As…

This work reports on a novel and simple synthetic route for the growth of metal-organic crystal [Cu(C2O4)(4-aminopyridine)2(H2O)]n of large size using the technique of liquid-liquid diffusion or layer diffusion. Single crystal X-ray…

We explore the crystallization in a colloidal monolayer on a structured template starting from a few-particle nucleus. The competition between the substrate structure and that of the growing crystal induces a new crystal growth scenario.…

DNA-coated colloids can self-assemble into an incredible diversity of crystal structures, but applications of this technology are limited by poor understanding and control over the dynamical crystallization pathways. To address this…

Transition metal halides can host a large variety of novel phenomena, such as magnetism in the monolayer limit, quantum spin liquid and spiral spin liquid states, and topological magnons and phonons. Sizeable high quality single crystals…

The layered honeycomb magnet $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ is the most promising candidate for a Kitaev quantum spin liquid (KQSL) that can host charge-neutral Majorana fermions. Recent studies have shown significant sample dependence of thermal…

Conical surfaces pose an interesting challenge to crystal growth: a crystal growing on a cone can wrap around and meet itself at different radii. We use a disk-packing algorithm to investigate how this closure constraint can geometrically…

We have grown calcium and oxygen co-doped Y1-xCaxBa2Cu3O7-{\delta} single crystals using self-flux method. A method of fine tuning oxygen content to reach the equilibrium state through in situ monitoring of the conductivity change is…

Single crystals in nature often demonstrate fascinating intricate porous morphologies rather than classical faceted surfaces. We attempt to grow such crystals, drawing inspiration from biogenic porous single crystals. Here we show that…
