Techniques for processing materials in supercritical fluids including processing in a capsule disposed within a high-pressure apparatus enclosure are disclosed. The disclosed techniques are useful for growing crystals of GaN, AlN, InN, and their alloys, including InGaN, AlGaN, and AlInGaN for the manufacture of bulk or patterned substrates, which in turn can be used to make optoelectronic devices, lasers, light emitting diodes, solar cells, photoelectrochemical water splitting and hydrogen generation devices, photodetectors, integrated circuits, and transistors. 1. A method for growth of a large-area merged crystal , the method comprising:depositing an adhesion layer on a surface of a handle substrate, said adhesion layer having a melting point at a first temperature;{'sub': 1', '1', '1', '2', '2', '2', '1', '1', '1', '2', '2', '2, 'bonding at least a first crystal and a second crystal to said adhesion layer to form a tiled substrate, said first crystal having a first nominal crystallographic orientation (xyz), and said second crystal having a second nominal crystallographic orientation (xyz), said first nominal crystallographic orientation (xyz) and said second nominal crystallographic orientation (xyz) being identical; and'}laterally and vertically growing a crystalline composition over said tiled substrate using ammonothermal growth at a second temperature to form a merged crystal,wherein said first and second crystals define first and second domains in said merged crystal; [{'sub': 1', '1', '1', '1, 'zis a negative surface normal of the first nominal crystallographic orientation, and xand yare crystallographic vectors that are orthogonal to z;'}, {'sub': 2', '2', '2', '2, 'zis a negative surface normal of the second nominal crystallographic orientation, and xand yare crystallographic vectors that are orthogonal to z;'}, {'sub': 1', '2, 'a polar misorientation angle γ between zand zis greater than about 0.005 degrees and less than about 0.5 degrees;'}, {'sub': 1 ...
