ELIMINATION OF INCLUSIONS FROM FLUX-GROWN CRYSTALS.

Abstract

Crystals grown from solution are frequently flawed by inclusions of solution that has been trapped by the crystal during the growth process. Crystals of ThO2 and ZrSiO4 were placed in a thermal gradient high enough to liquefy the inclusions. This caused the liquid to move through the crystal toward the heat source, thereby removing inclusions from the crystals. (Author)
