Single Crystals and Optical Single Crystals

A single-crystal, or monocrystalline, solid is a material in which the crystal lattice of the entire sample is continuous and unbroken to the edges of the sample, with no grain boundaries. The absence of the defects associated with grain boundaries can give Monocrystals unique properties, particularly mechanical, optical and electrical, which can also be anisotropic, depending on the type of crystallographic structure. These properties, in addition to making them precious in some gems, are industrially used in technological applications, especially in optics and electronics.

Single Crystals include semiconductors, oxides, fluorides, chlorides, glasses, and metals. They are available as wafers, substrates, optics, windows and laser rods.
