Abstract
Colorless and transparent single crystals of the
piezoelectric materials -GaPO4 and
-GeO2 have
been grown by the spontaneous nucleation method from
Li2Mo3O10 flux at high temperature. Lattice parameters of the
hexagonal-phase crystals have been measured by a single crystal X-ray
diffraction method. Results of the infrared measurement have indicated the
possibility of growing almost hydroxyl-free
-GaPO4 crystals by
the flux method. Thermal analyses have pointed out the phase transformation
-quartz GaPO
-cristobalite
GaPO4.
