Abstract
Single crystals of the beta-LiGa (Zintl) intermetallic compound were g rown under carefully observed conditions of chemical purity. The three crystals separated from the specially designed boron nitride crucible are believed to be parts of one single crystalline domain of 55 mm in length and 13 mm in diameter. Phase identification was done by X-ray diffraction. The easy cleavage plane was the (111) plane. The lattice parameter was found to be 6.17 angstrom, corresponding to a compositio n of Li0.45Ga0.55 in the final product.
