Abstract
Single Sc-2(WO4)(3) crystals were grown from an eutectic mixture of 1: 3 molar ratio of Bi2O3-WO3 by slow cooling flux method from 1200 degre es C rather than above 1600 degrees C, which is the melting point of s toichiometric scandium tungstate. The crystalline quality of the singl e crystals was found to be satisfactory from Laue photographs and from a comparison of the lattice parameters and the Sc/W ratio of the sing le crystals with powdered polycrystals.
