Abstract
TiO2 bicrystals with controlled misorientation have been grown by a la ser-heated floating-zone method using a [001] oriented bicrystal seed designed for producing a (210)[001] tilt boundary. The grain boundary and crystal morphology are sensitive to the growth atmosphere, as conf irmed by optical and transmission electron microscopies and by the Lau e X-ray back-reflection method, These observations are discussed with respect to the nonstoichiometry of TiO2.
