Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Crystal Growth focuses on the scientific study of crystal growth processes. Recent articles investigate material quality and performance in quantum cascade lasers, the development of wide-bandgap semiconductors for power electronics, and the kinetics of nucleation and growth transformations. Research also explores the fabrication and characterization of single crystals for shape memory alloys and the mechanisms of salt crystallization pressure in building materials. Additionally, simulations examine diffusion-limited crystal growth and morphological transitions in alloy solidification.
