K. Shimamura et al., GROWTH AND CHARACTERIZATION OF (LA,SR)(AL,TA)O-3 SINGLE-CRYSTALS AS SUBSTRATES FOR GAN EPITAXIAL-GROWTH, Journal of crystal growth, 194(2), 1998, pp. 209-213
We have successfully grown [111] oriented (La,Sr)(Al,Ta)O-3 (LSAT) mix
ed-perovskite single crystals by the Czochralski method. Compositional
uniformity and coloring phenomena are discussed in relation to the gr
owth conditions. Since LSAT single crystals have excellent lattice mat
ching with GaN, they are promising as new substrates for the growth of
high-quality GaN epitaxial layers. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All
