Last month Isha Bade presented her poster on crystal regeneration post-breakage at the 7th David Grant Symposium in Minnesota, highlighting a unique “facet switch-off” behaviour observed during regeneration where crystals appear to exhibit shape memory. Congrats Isha👏#CrystalGrowth

Hey #chemsky and #crystalgrowth folks - anyone here have expertise on metal contamination in III-V #semiconductor wafers? Looking for some benchmarks and the kind of data I suspect doesn’t often see the light of day in publications.
It’s a long shot, I know.

Phase formation of LiB3O5 and other lithium borates in the multicomponent system NaF–B2O3–Li2O–MoO3
The phase equilibria in the LiB3O5–NaF–Li2Mo4O13 and LiB3O5–NaF–Li4Mo5O17 systems were studied. The presence of NaF results in an increase in the viscosity of borate systems that contain LiB3O5. The weight yield percentage of LiB3O5 can reach up to 60%.
