Crystal growth and characterization program

In order to increase the impact and effectiveness of the crystal growth and characterization program a liberal policy of working with scientists in other ORNL divisions, other national laboratories, and university and industrial laboratories is deliberately pursued. Samples resulting from the efforts of this program are proved to others, on either a loan or collaborative basis, depending on the degree of involvement by staff members of the program. These samples are generally the subject of physical properties measurements that are either complementary or supplementary to ongoing research activities in the ORNL Solid State Division
