Because the compressibilities of the gas, liquid, and solid phases differ, the structure of the equipment used with each of these phases is very different. In addition, specific modifications have been developed according to (i) the objective of the high-pressure studies (synthesis, crystal growth, or physical measurements), and (ii) the chemical nature of the medium.

After appropriate annealing, each LEC and VGF crystal is subjected to an intensive seed- and tail-end wafer inspection program that includes structural control, measurement of electrical parameters and other physical and chemical properties relevant for device manufacturing. Spot checks of wafers between seed and tail are carried out additionally. All data are stored in a data base for continuous and detailed evaluation in relation to technological synthesis, crystal growth and watering parameters.

Low-temperature solvents are not readily available for many refractory compounds and semiconductors of interest. Molten salt electrolysis is utilized in many instances, as for the synthesis and deposition of elemental materials such as Al, Si, and also a wide variety of binary and ternary compounds such as borides, carbides, silicides, phosphides, arsenides, and sulfides, and the semiconductors SiC, GaAs, and GaP and InP [16], A few available reports regarding the metal chalcogenides examined in this chapter will be addressed in the respective sections. Let us note here that halide fluxes provide a good reaction medium for the crystal growth of refractory compounds. A wide spectrum of alkali and alkaline earth halides provides... 

In some cases shape-control has also been achieved tetra( -octyl)ammonium glycolate transforms Pd(N03)2 predominantly into trigonal Pd particles [186]. Recent work has confirmed that the colloidal protective agents not only prevent particle agglomeration but even provide control of the crystal growth during particle synthesis (see e.g., Ref. [187-191]). The drawbacks of this route are the restriction to noble metal salts and the limited industrial availability of A-(octyl)j RC02.

The SHG active compounds found in Tables II-VIII are just a small fraction of the hundreds of substances we have screened by the powder technique. Of the active compounds only another small fraction will provide crystals of size and quality as is required for optical application. A program in crystal growth as thorough as the effort which has gone into synthesis must be instituted in order to take full advantage of these materials. Overall, it will suffice to say that the promising nonlinear properties observed from such a small fraction of all the possible organic compounds bodes very well for future endeavor. 

Let us consider the crystal growth of the three previous compounds which have retained our attention by their high nonlinear optical susceptibilities (POM, MAP, NPP) plus an additional one R(+)N-methylidene (gem-carbethoxiphenyl) amide of 4-N-dime-thylamino- benzylidene cyanacetlc acid -AMA, of potential interest but not yet investigated from the optical point of view. We look successively into their synthesis, purification, crystal growth and characterization. 

Characterization. It is both important for crystal growth and for checking the purification of materials. It takes place at every stage, from synthesis to the monocrystal. There are two aspects the control of material purity before crystal growth and the control of the crystalline quality of raonocrystals.
