Theoretical models for large-sized crystal growth
Abstract
Large-sized crystals are fundamental materials in many fields such as semiconductors, communication, military, and radiation detection. However, preparing large-sized and high-quality single crystals for high technology demands is still very difficult. Theory is an important part of crystal growth research. In this review, we briefly summarize the crystal growth models and propose the research directions for the future to break through the preparation of large crystals. In terms of application, chemical bonding theory is currently an effective model for the growth of large-sized crystals. In the future, three aspects, such as utilizing artificial intelligence technology to obtain parameters that accurately describe system properties, establishing cross-scale simulation methods, and calculating interface positions accurately, may be the keys to promote the development of large-sized crystal preparation.
