Application of Artificial Neural Networks in Crystal Growth of Electronic and Opto-Electronic Materials

In this review, we summarize the results concerning the application of artificial neural networks (ANNs) in the crystal growth of electronic and opto-electronic materials. The main reason for using ANNs is to detect the patterns and relationships in non-linear static and dynamic data sets which are...
