Abstract

$ZrO_2$ single crystals were grown by slow cooling flux method using Borax $(Na_2B_4O_7)$ and KF as flux agent. The morphology of grown crystals was observed under a petrographic microscope. And the results obtained from grow crystals were as follows : 1. $ZrO_2$ crystals grown in the present work are morphologically divided into two shapes ; tabular and den-dritic crystals. 2. The maximum size of the crystals grown reaches to $4{\times}15{\times}2mm$ on edge into length at $ZrO_2$ 15mole% Borax 50mole% and KF 35mole% 3. $ZrO_2$ single crystals grown by flux method have monoclinc structure. 4. The content of KF as flux agents was limited by 60mole% KF. Since alumina crucible was heavily damaged by increasing KF content.
