Optical Floating Zone Growth of Single Crystal r-Fe2O3 from a CaFe4O7-Based Solvent
نویسندگان
چکیده
Large single crystals (Φ 5 × L 33 mm) of hematite (R-Fe2O3) have been grown using a CaFe4O7based solvent and 8 bar of oxygen in a four-mirror optical floating zone furnace in the traveling solvent zone configuration. The crystals grow along the [001] direction, are of excellent quality, and contain no residual Ca contamination from the solvent.
