Laser-Heated Pedestal Growth (LHPG) is a crystal growth technique primarily used for the synthesis of high-quality single crystals of materials, particularly semiconductors and other advanced materials. The technique utilizes a focused laser beam to create a localized heating zone at the interface between a solid crystal and a liquid melt, known as the pedestal.
