| 1. | The manufacture of a perfect crystal of a material is physically impossible.
|
| 2. | Single perfect crystals may contain solvent of crystallisation in the crystal lattice.
|
| 3. | A perfect crystal consists of a regular and periodic geometric lattice.
|
| 4. | The almost perfect crystal structure yields the highest light-to-electricity conversion efficiency for silicon.
|
| 5. | The crystal's lattice structures match up, resembling a perfect crystal, with corresponding luminosity.
|
| 6. | Perfect crystals are an ideal subject for such calculations because of their high periodicity.
|
| 7. | Out of interest, could it happen in a perfect crystal?
|
| 8. | This means that their properties cannot be inferred from those of a perfect crystal.
|
| 9. | Scientific descriptions typically assume a perfect crystal, extrapolating from that point based on defect prevalence.
|
| 10. | However, given sufficient defects, extrapolation from perfect crystals fails.
