Solvothermal processes, as compared to hydrothermal processes, enlarge the scope of the employed solvents from aqueous to non-aqueous media, the objective being to extend the possibilities for the preparation and/or the crystal growth of non-oxide materials. During the last fifteen years solvothermal crystal growth of materials has been investigated at two different levels...
