Based on the experimental observations,the formation mechanism of growth twins is discussed.In the meantime,the effective measures for reducing the growth twins and defects are proposed.2001 Elsevier Science B.V.All rights reserved.展开更多
Growth and morphology of neodymium or ytterbium doped calcium gadolinium yttrium oxoborate (Re∶Ca 4Gd x Y 1- x O(BO 3) 3(Re∶GdYCOB)Re =Nd,Yb; x =0-1)were systematically studied.

Polycrystalline materials used for Re∶GdYCOB single crystals growth were synthesized by multistage solid phase reaction method.Re∶GdYCOB single crystals were grown by Czochralski technique.The pulling rates are 0.5-2mm/h and the rotation rates are 10-30r/min.Usually 65-75% polycrystalline materials can be transformed into good quality single crystals under our growth conditions. The structures of some as grown Re∶GdYCOB single crystals were measured by using a four circle diffractometer.The results measured show that the space group of the crystals is C 3 s Cm.The determined lattice constants of 8 at% Nd doped Ca 4YO(BO 3) 3 single crystal are a =0.8076nm, b =1.6020nm, c =0.3527nm , β =101.23°.展开更多
