Abstract
Gallium orthophosphate (GaPO4) single crystals have been grown from phospho ric acid solutions under hydrothermal conditions. The crystals have been st udied in terms of twinning because of the strong effect of this structural defect on the piezoelectric properties. The growth rates of individual face s have been compared to each other by considering the dipyramidal habit of the grown crystals.
