Suppression of crystal growth instabilities during the production of seltenerdoxyorthosilikat - crystals

摘要

A method for growing a seltenerdoxyorthosilikat - crystal and a crystal, which with the aid of the method is grown, are disclosed. A melt is by melting a first substance, the at least a rare earth element, and a second substance, the at least one element from group 7 of the periodic table, is produced. A seed crystal with the surface of the melt is brought into contact and retracted in order to be allowed to grow the crystal.
