Bridgman Technique

The Bridgman Technique is a method for growing high-quality single crystals by melting a material in a container and then slowly cooling it from one end. The process involves moving the melting material through a temperature gradient, allowing a single crystal to form as the liquid solidifies gradually. This controlled cooling minimizes defects and ensures uniform crystal structure, making it valuable in producing materials for electronics, optics, and scientific research. Named after physicist Percy Bridgman, this technique offers precise control over crystal growth and quality.
