Abstract
A micro-pulling-down process, using Ir crucibles and RF heating, has been used to grow single-crystal fiber and bulk crystals of Tb 3Ga 5O 12 garnet (TGG). Single crystals ranging up to 450 mm in length have been produced. The crystals were 1–4 mm in diameter and were seeded-grown in the direction close to 〈1 1 1〉. The maximal crystal diameter achieved was 10 mm. Dependence of behavior of the solid–liquid interface on the growth parameters (temperature and pulling-rate) is discussed in detail.
