Definition
A complete explanation of the intended meaning of a concept- 1. A single crystal (or single-crystal solid or monocrystalline solid) is a material in which the crystal lattice of the entire sample is continuous and unbroken to the edges of the sample, with no grain boundaries. (Wikipedia). 2. Cocrystals are materials that contain molecules of two or more compounds in a single crystal. (ScienceDirect, Polyhedron, 2018). 3. A 'Single Crystal' refers to the most ideal form of an electrode material used in surface science work, where the material is in the form of a bulk single crystal, typically millimeter-sized. It allows for precise characterization of the material's interface and surface properties. (ScienceDirect, AI generated definition based on: Progress in Surface Science, 2017)
