Abstract

The Bridgman-Stockbarger method was used to grow single crystals of LiYF₄. Smaller LiYF₄ crystals can be grown in an induction furnace, whereas the resistance furnace is more useful for bigger crystals growth. The best parameters of crystal growth process were determined. The crystals were investigated by x-ray powder diffraction, the Laue x-ray reflection method and by using polarizing microscope after chemical etching. The best crystals were obtained from the resistance furnace using lowering rate 0.5 mm/h, the temperature gradient 60 degrees Celsius/cm and the c-axis oriented along the crucible.
