Defect-free single crystal

Polydiacetylenes (2) come closest to the model one-dimensional organic semiconductor and can be readily obtained in form of large, nearly defect-free single crystals so that a large number of experiments and measurements have been carried out on these materials. Their structure is shown in Figure 3 where also some typical side-groups R are indicated. On table I we summarize some measured va-... 

In the early days of silicon device manufacturing the need for surfaces with a low defect density led to the development of CP solutions. Defect etchants were developed at the same time in order to study the crystal quality for different crystal growth processes. The improvement of the growth methods and the introduction of chemo-mechanical polishing methods led to defect-free single crystals with optically flat surfaces of superior electronic properties. This reduced the interest in CP and defect delineation. 

When sufficiently large, defect-free single crystals of a material are available, its structure can be precisely determined by X-ray diffraction. Unfortunately, most LDHs are only available in the form of fine crystallites, and this is generally not possible. 

A single crystal of monomer becomes a nearly defect-free single crystal of the polymer . The two most commonly used monomers are the phenylurethane and tosylate derivatives of 2,4-hexadiyne-l,6-diol, 233a and 233b, but the reaction has been accomplished with a variety of symmetrical and unsymmetrical diacetylene derivatives . 

Simultaneous polymerization emd crystallization is another approach to memroscopic, defect-free single crystals of macromolecules (59). Recent examples include a preparative method for mixed metal coordination polymers (60), emd M. Hemack emd coworkers have reacted hemipotphyreizine (6 with iron (II) acetate in nitrobenzene to obtain single crystals of em oxygen-bridg polymer with iron in a -i- 4 oxidation state.

Although Nd YAG requires large, defect-free single crystals [89], polycrystalline ceramics are cheaper to manufacture and there is increasing use of YAG ceramics [90] as scintillators for radiation detection, for example Ce-doped YAG ceramics [91, 92], In this case, the luminescence comes both from the activation of the Ce ion, with additional UV contribution, and from the YAG host itself. 

One should emphasize that the adsorption-active medium itself does not create any defects within an object it may only facilitate their development. For this reason some thread-like defect-free single crystals (whiskers) may be insensitive to the action of the medium.

Assume a defect-free single crystal and a mechanism of oxide film growth by vacancy migration. Thus, the rate of film formation for a single crystal, related to Faraday s law, can be approximated as [13]... 

The PAL measurements were performed using an ORTEC standard fast-fast coincidence circuit of a positron lifetime spectrometer with time resolution of 230 psec (full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the prompt coincidence curve). Integral statistics for each PAL spectrum included at least 10 counts. A high purity and defect free single crystal Silicon sample was used as a reference. Its PAL spectrum consisted of a single component with a lifetime of 220 psec. Measurements were performed either at ambient conditions, i.e. in contact with air, or in nitrogen at 1 atm in a special cell.

Semiconducting nanobelts are ideal candidates for cantilever applications, because they are structurally defect-free single crystals and provide a significant improvement in the cantilever sensitivity due to their reduced dimensions. Individual ZnO nanobelts could be aligned on Si chips to have a range of lengths and therefore resonance frequencies [3],... 

Secondly, the ultimate properties of polymers are of continuous interest. Ultimate properties are the properties of ideal, defect free, structures. So far, for polymer crystals the ultimate elastic modulus and the ultimate tensile strength have not been calculated at an appropriate level. In particular, convergence as a function of basis set size has not been demonstrated, and most calculations have been applied to a single isolated chain rather than a three-dimensional polymer crystal. Using the Car-Parrinello method, we have been able to achieve basis set convergence for the elastic modulus of a three-dimensional infinite polyethylene crystal. These results will also be fliscussed. 

In the following section, we focus on imaging single-crystal electrode surfaces that are of relevance to electrocatalysis. We will first deal with flat, defect-free terraces as well as with more real surfaces with monoatomic high steps as the most common active sites. We will then explore various strategies for nano structuring surfaces, for example, by repetitive oxidation-reduction cycles (ORCs). 

Silicon has been and will most probably continue to be the dominant material in semiconductor technology. Although the defect-free silicon single crystal is one of the best understood systems in materials science, its electrochemistry to many people is still a matter of alchemy. This view is partly a result of the interdisciplinary aspects of the topic Physics meets chemistry at the silicon-electrolyte interface.

Single crystals of high purity and defect free, may be needed for many applications, none more so than in the electronics and semiconductor industry. Various methods have been developed for preparing different crystalline forms such as large crystals, films, etc. A few of the important methods are described next.
