3.1 Fluorides
3.1.1 Difficulties inherent in fluoride growth
Fluorides are crystals that are not very hygroscopic in their solid state, making them easy to use in the open air without any special precautions. Nevertheless, the growth of fluoride crystals is very delicate and requires a certain amount of expertise, since in their liquid state, fluorides are highly reactive with oxygen in the air, with humidity or with residual OH radical groups present in the precursors used. This leads to partial hydrolysis of the...
