Abstract

A consistently successful procedure for growing optically pure single crystals of the anhydrous lanthanide halides is described. It involves drying the hydrated lanthanide halide with the corresponding ammonium halide, purification by vacuum distillation, and subsequent growth by the Bridgman-Stockbarger method. All critical steps in the procedure are explained, and the relatively simple apparatus is described in detail.
