Abstract

This paper reviews the various topics regarding crystal growth, concentrating on developments in particular zones. This paper includes mainly four sections “The Czochralski Method 90 years after Jan Czochralski's invention, Growth and Characterization of SrI2 doped with Eu crystals fabricated using the Czochralski method, Rare earth crystals under Pulling growth technique, Rare Earth Elements and Intermetallic Compounds.” The first section explores the instabilities of the Czochralski method, a seminal strategy for Crystal growth. It explains its recent applications and its impact on crystal growth. The second section focuses on the Growth and Characterization of SrI2: Eu crystals using the Czochralski method. It describes the fabrication process, Crystal quality impacted by the Key parameters, and the spectroscopic properties of SrI2: Eu crystals. The third section focused on rare earth elements and Intermetallic compounds, pointing to their importance in crystal growth research. This section explores the unique properties and the applications of Rare earth elements, shedding light on their intermetallic compounds and their part in advancing materials science. The final section explores the pulling growth technique for growing rare earth single crystals. It analyzes the standards and applications of this technique, including its capability to produce high-quality crystals with desirable properties. Later advancements and progressions within the pulling growth technique are also examined here. This review paper provides an overview of significant topics in crystal growth, including the historical context, recent developments, challenges, and potential future directions in multiple areas.
