Studies of Gel Grown Pure & Mixed Tartrate Crystals

The growths of crystals do not remain the phenomena only occurring in nature, but have become well advanced as well as widely used laboratory techniques. There always has been a requirement of good quality crystals for various applications in science and technology; hence various growth techniques developed to grow suitable crystals. It has been found that the crystalline property has applications in devices such as: laser resonators, acoust-optic modulators, phase decay plates, polarizers, pyro-electric detectors, piezo-electric devices, crystal X-ray monochromaters, scintillation detectors, holographic devices, membranes of iron selective electrodes and substrate for thin films.The Present book deals with the growth of tartrate crystals by gel technique; hence details of the gel technique are discussed hereby.
