Solid solution single crystal growth of the aluminum tungstate–scandium tungstate system by a modified CZ method

Various types of single crystals for the aluminum tungstate–scandium tungstate solid solutions were successfully grown by modified Czochralski (CZ) method. The crystals grown were transparent and a satisfactory quality was identified by a polarizing microscope measurement. Both Al and Sc elements were clearly found to exist by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) measurements and the single crystals grown were clarified to be exactly the solid …
