The grown crystals were carefully characterized by polarized microscopic images, X-ray Laue back scattering technique, X-ray powder diffraction, and the EDX measurement. In order to optimize the crystal growth and quantitatively characterize the crystalline quality, the development factor (V) is proposed to determine the growth rate of the grains, while the orientation deviation factor (δ) is proposed for assessing the quality of the grown crystals.
