Growth of Beryl Single Crystals for Microwave Applications

摘要

Beryl crystals containing transition metal ions can he grown from a number of mineralizing fluxes. Of these V2O5 appears to be particularly advantageous for growing beryl by transfer methods. The Cr3+ containing crystals grown by this method are particularly suitable for microwave device applications as indicated by a resonance linewidth of 100 Mc at the X band.
