Crystallization of GeO2 thin films into alpha-quartz: from spherulites to single crystals
Silang Zhou, Jordi Antoja-Lleonart, Pavan Nukala +3
Piezoelectric quartz SiO2 crystals are widely used in industry as oscillators. As a natural mineral, quartz and its relevant silicates are also of interest of geoscience and minera…
