Several techniques are employed for crystal growth in nanotechnology:
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): A process where gases react on a substrate to form a solid material. Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD): Involves the physical transfer of material from a source to the substrate. Hydrothermal Synthesis: Material is dissolved in water at high temperature and pressure to crystallize. Sol-Gel Process: Involves the transition of a solution into a solid gel, which is then dried and annealed to form a crystalline structure.
