Title
Growth Of High-Quality Single Crystal Of Kliyf5 By Tssg Method
Abstract
We report for the first time the growth of large size single crystals of KLiYF5 (KLYF) by TSSG method using the conventional weight-feed-back automatic diameter control Czochralski puller. We also succeeded to grow for the first time single crystals of KLiGdF5 (KLGF). We constructed a new pseudo-binary phase diagram for the KF-LiF-YF3 system. Both KLYF and KLGF melt peritectically. They both showed high optical anisotropy as we expected. However, this anisotropy comes from the layer structure of the crystal which also gives a perfect set of (010) cleavage plane. At present, this is a problem preventing us to get crack-free single crystals.
