IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE FIELDS OF CRYSTAL GROWTH AND REAL STRUCTURE OF NEARLY PERFECT SINGLE CRYSTALS

摘要

This paper is a tribute to an internationally renowned scientist, Prof. Fedor A. Kuznetsov with several noteworthy contributions to his credit. He had played a key role in strengthening Indo-Russian collaboration in science and technology. The author had the privilege of actively pursuing several joint R&D projects. My laboratory had received an advanced Crystal Growth system developed at the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, Novosibirsk. Several scientists of this institute had been our guests and published jointly authored research papers. Some results of important investigations carried out in author ' s group are described.
