Why isn’t everything a perfect, single crystal?
Although single crystal materials form the backbone of daily activities, it is hard to find

materials with a perfect single crystal. This is because; properties of crystalline solids often
depend on the material’s crystal structure and the manner in which the ions, molecules, and
atoms are arranged spatially. High-quality crystals are defined by the precise and accurate
placement of atoms within a well-defined crystal lattice that is continuous and unbroken. It is the
absence of defects in material that gives crystals various unique and perfect optical, mechanical
and electrical properties (Callister & Rethwisch, 1991). The balance between the size of the
nanoparticle and the linker’s length DNA determin...
