E. Kubota et al., Large size SBN single crystal growth by the resistance-heating Czochralskitechnique using crucible-base cooling, J CRYST GR, 229(1), 2001, pp. 217-222
We were able to grow Sr0.61Ba0.39Nb2O6 Single crystals, 35-50 mm in diamete
r and 35-65 mm in length (180-470 g in weight) by the Czochralski technique
using a resistance-heating furnace and crucible-base cooling. We were also
able to obtain striation-free crystals by growing with crucible-base cooli
ng and no crystal rotation, and subsequently by annealing the crystals at 1
470 degreesC for 50 h. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
