Declining or Waning
- Traditional Inorganic Crystals:
Research focused on classical inorganic crystal structures without significant functionalization or application has become less common, as the field shifts towards more complex, functional materials. - Low-Dimensional Materials:
The interest in purely low-dimensional materials, such as one-dimensional nanowires or two-dimensional sheets, has waned in favor of hybrid structures that combine multiple dimensions and functionalities. - Basic Coordination Chemistry:
Studies that solely focus on the basic coordination chemistry of simple ligands and metal ions, without exploring their applications or interactions in complex systems, are less frequently published. - Static Crystal Structures:
There is a noticeable decrease in papers that primarily report static crystal structures without considering their dynamic behaviors or responses to external stimuli. - Non-Photonic Applications:
Research on crystalline materials that do not leverage their photonic or electronic properties appears to be declining, as the field increasingly emphasizes applications in sensing and energy conversion.
