Abstract
Low-form (βII-) Li3VO4 single crystals have successfully been grown by the heater-in-zone zone-melting method using a traveling solvent of LiVO3. The as-grown crystals are transparent and have no cracks or bubble inclusions. To prevent the crystals from cracking, the temperature of the heater is set to below 700°C. The growth rate must be less than 0.25mm/h and the crystal rotation rate more than 30rpm in order to eliminate bubble formation. The formation of low-angle grain boundaries is effectively suppressed by growing the crystals along the [001] direction. The emission of green light from the as-grown βII-Li3VO4 single crystal is observed by irradiation with a Nd:YAG laser.
