Abstract

Single crystals of hydrogen uranyl arsenate hydrate (HUAsH) were grown in tetramethoxysilane gels at different temperatures, below and above the paraelastic-ferroelastic transition temperature, T 0. The crystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction, chemical etching, scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy. The habit of the gel grown crystals allowed the three-dimensional features of the domain structure to be studied for the first time. A correlation was made between crystal perfection, domain structure and growth history.
