Abstract
The transparent rod-like macro-defect-free single crystals of YVO4 and GdVO4 have been successfully grown by EFG technique. Basic properties of EFG crystals have been investigated in connection with growth inte rface morphology. The origin of asymmetric radial growth phenomena for both EFG and CZ growth of REVO4 is discussed. Finally, the quality of EFG crystals is marked as comparable to CZ crystals.
