A method of forming a single crystalline structure of two substances is disclosed, which comprises: inserting the two substances into a substantially spherical crucible, wherein a first one of the substances is silicon-based; sealing the crucible in a substantially spherical envelope; heating the two substances in an oven at a temperature and time sufficient to create a single crystalline material of the two substances, wherein the single crystalline structure is a twin crystal structure and the preferred other substance is tellurium. These single crystalline structures have a substantially linear response at least over the wave lengths of 1,200 to 1,700 nanometers, and are suitable for use as an optical media or a barrier coating; these crystalline structures provide a maximum obtainable optical transmission with zero attenuation and have no intrinsic material absorption. |
