F. Mersch et al., GROWTH AND CHARACTERIZATION OF UNDOPED AND DOPED BI12TIO20 CRYSTALS, Physica status solidi. a, Applied research, 140(1), 1993, pp. 273-281
Single crystals of B12TiO20 are grown from solutions containing an exc
ess of Bi2O3 by the TSSG (''top-seeded solution growth'') technique. D
oping with iron, manganese, aluminium, and chromium is performed by ad
ding the oxides to the melt. Measurements of dielectric constant, refr
active indices, optical activity, absorption, light-induced absorption
, and dark conductivity are performed.
