Abstract

High quality fluoride and oxide single crystals for optical, piezoelectric and other applications have been grown by advanced crystal growth techniques. Corquitiite- and Perovskite-type fluoride single crystals - LiCaAlF₆, LiSrAlF₆, KmgF₃ and BaLiF₃ - have been grown for solid state UV laser applications, and as window materials for next generation optical lithography. La₃Nb_0.5Ga_5.5O₁₄ and La₃Ta_0.5Ga_5.5O₁₄ piezoelectric single crystal of size and quality comparable to La₃Ga₅SiO₁₄, have been produced. The piezoelectric and deice properties of the crystal were investigated. A search for new langasite-type materials was also performed. Promising new structural materials. Undoped and doped eutectic fibers, have been grown by the micro- pulling-down technique. Undoped and doped(beta) -Ga₂O₃ single crystals have been grown by the floating zone technique as promising transparent conductive oxides.
