摘要
An effective use of the micro-pulling-down (mu-PD) growth method for high-temperature solution growth is shown to be feasible due to very strong Marangoni convection in the mu-PD meniscus. Modifications in the crucible geometry and in the growth procedure allow the growth of fiber samples in which an excessive flux is periodically captured, or even miniature bulk single crystals completely free of flux inclusions. This is demonstrated by successful growth of LiTb0.9Eu0.1P4O12 from LiPO4 flux. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
