Abstract
AbstractFerroelectric Magnesium Hydrogen Phosphate MgHPO4 (MHP) single crystals are grown by slow diffusion of magnesium chloride in sodium metasilicate gels impregnated with orthophosphoric acid. Bright and transparent prismatic, tabular, and isometric habit MHP crystals upto 3 × 2 × 1 mm3 are obtained. Results of chemical, X‐ray diffraction, EDAX, microhardness and magnetic analysis are reported. The average etch pit density is determined by chemical etching to be 7 × 103 cm−2. Microtopographic investigations revealed the mechanism of crystal growth.
