Growth of Y3Al5O12:Nd fiber crystals by micro-pulling-down technique

Effect of Electron Traps on Scintillation of Praseodymium Activated Lu$_3$Al$_5$O$_{12}$

“…The real concentrations of Pr ions are not known. However, they can be expected to be much closer to the nominal ones than in case of the Czochralski method, in which the so-called segregation coefficient is below 0.1 [4], because of the 100% solidification in the PD technology [12], [13].…”

Synthesis and characterization of cobalt-free Ba0.5Sr0.5Fe0.8Cu0.2O3−δ perovskite oxide cathode nanofibers

“…In recent years, the application of one-dimensional nanostructures, including nanowires and nanofibers, as cathode materials in IT-SOFCs has been the subject of intense research due to the reduction of device dimensions, potential nanomaterial properties due to the re-arrangement at the molecular level, and high surface areas [18][19][20]. There are a variety of methods for the synthesis of these nanostructures, such as laser ablation, chemical vapor deposition, solution deposition, and micro pulling method, but all these methods have the major disadvantages of being complicated, requiring significant time and high costs [21][22][23]. The electrospinning method, recently used for the production of ceramic nanofibers, overcomes nearly all of these disadvantages with its simplicity and cost effec- tiveness in the preparation of ceramic-or metal nanofibers with improved properties.…”

Micro-pulling-down growth and characterization of Tb3−Tm Al5O12 fiber crystals for Faraday rotator applications

“…The crystals were grown by the m-PD method from an iridium crucible [11]. The heating system employed in the growth processes was specially designed for the fabrication of fiber crystals and composites [12] at high temperatures (above 1800 C).…”
