Single crystals of leuko-sapphire (a-AbO,) are grown from the melt by an improved Kyropoulos technique using Mo or W crucibles. The influence of the temperature field on the structural and optical quality has been studied. Best results were obtained when heat losses from crystal and melt are minimized.Einkristalle von farblosem Saphir (a-A40,) wurden aus der Schmelze nach der Kyropoulos-Methode aus Mobzw. W-Tiegeln gezogen. Der EinfluS des Temperaturfeldes auf die strukturellen und optischen Eigenschaften wurde studiert. Die besten Ergebnisse wurden unter Bedingungen erhalten, bei denen die WIrmeverluste von Kristall und Schmelze am geringsten gehalten werden.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
