Abstract
Platinum dendrites were found in lithium tetraborate crystals grown by the Czochralski method using a platinum crucible. The mode of occurre nce and formation mechanism of platinum dendrite in lithium tetraborat e were examined. It is revealed that platinum dendrites developed in t he cellular structure that occurred during growth. The formation of pl atinum dendrite that is discussed is associated with the growth condit ion leading to cellular growth. The morphology of platinum dendrite is also explained by its specific crystallographic symmetry. (C) 1998 El sevier Science Ltd.
