Large-Sized Organic Semiconductors: Crystallization, Characterization and Applications

Abstract

This review explores the growth methods, properties, and applications of large-sized organic single crystals, emphasizing their significance in advanced material technologies such as optoelectronics, nonlinear optics, and radiation detection. The study categorizes the main growth techniques into melt, solution, and vapor transport methods, analyzing their mechanisms, advantages, and challenges in producing high-quality, large-sized crystals. Characterization methods, including structural, thermal, and optical analyses, are discussed to highlight the comprehensive evaluation of crystal properties. Applications of large-sized organic crystals in areas such as long-persistent luminescence, terahertz generation, X-ray imaging, and neutron detection are reviewed.
