Emerald (3BeO.Al2O3.6SiO2 : Cr3+) single crystals were crystals were grown by reflux method of temperature gradient in the flux solution of Li2O-MoO3-V2O5 system. The composition of flux materials were 3 mole ratio of MoO3-V2O5/Li2O, subtituted 0.2 mole% of K2O, Na2O, Nb2O5 etc to Li2O content, solved 10-15% of beryl to flux quantity and doped 1% of Cr2O3 to emerald amount. Those of mixing were melted at 110$0^{\circ}C$ in Pt containers of the 3 zone furnace of melt-growth-return to circulate continniously, specially it has been grown large emerald single crystal when thermal fluctuation was treated for 2hrs of once time a day at 1050-95$0^{\circ}C$ in growth zone, substitutional solid solution effect of Cr+3 ion for Al+3 to the growth of emerald single crystal was good. Emerald single crystals were c(0001) hexagonal crystal face of preferencial growth direction and m(1010) post side. When it had been durated for 5 months emerald single crystals of the firet size of 0.6mm thickness of seed crystal were grown 32$\times$65mm(c x m) of maximum size and 6.2mm thickness.

Bio-imaging and drug carriers for delivery have created a huge demand for crystals. Crystals are fascinating materials that have been grown for a long time but obtaining biocompatible fluorescent crystals is a challenging task. We report on the growth of fluorescent crystals using a carbon dot (C-dot) solution by a hydrothermal process. The crystallization pattern of these C-dots exhibited a unique dendritic structure having a feather-like morphology. The growth temperature and pressure were maintained at 60℃ and 200 mmHg, respectively, for crystal growth. A green fluorescence (under UV light) that was observed in the C-dot solution was retained in the crystals formed from the solution. Cytotoxicity studies on Vero cells revealed the crystals to be extremely biocompatible. These fluorescent crystals are extremely well suited for biomedical and optoelectronic applications.

(Ba/sub 1-x/Sr/sub x/)TiO₃ (BST, 0.4< x <0.65) single crystals were successfully grown by the TSSG (Top-Seeded Solution Growth) method, using a commercial [100] SrTiO₃ or as-grown [100] BST single crystals as seed crystals. To obtain the BST single crystals with various compositions x, the Ba/sr molar ratios in the solutions were systematically controlled while the Ti ion content among all cations was fixed at 67 mol%. A linear regression curve between their x values and the molar ratios of Sr/(Ba + Sr) in the solutions could be obtained, which in turn could used to select the initial composition to produce BST crystal with an aimed x value. In addition, the isothermal growth was found more effective for obtaining a compositional uniformity than a slow cooling process.

Single crystals of sapphire were grown from solution by slow cooling method using B2O3 and PbO as flux agents. The morphology of grown crystals was tube, rhombohedral, or hexagonal-plate. It was found that the morphology and the size of grown crystal were highly dependent on the amount of fluxes in the solution, the ratio of B2O3 vs. PbO, and cooling rate.

KLN은 성장 결정 내의 $Nb_2O_5$함유량에 따라 물성이 크게 변화하므로 단결정의 조성제어가 매우 중요하다. 본 실험에서는 초기 KLN용액의 $Nb_2O_5$함량을 증가시켜 $Nb_2O_5$함유량이 높은 KLN단결정을 온도요동법과 TSSG법에 의해 성장시키고 성장된 KLN단결정인 $Nb_2O_5$증가량에 따른 격자결함의 유무를 관찰하고자 유전 및 광학 특성을 관찰하다. KLN 단결정 내에 격자결함의 증가에 의해 낮은 에너지로의 단락 frequency 이동과 DPT 특성을 보이는 넓은 Curie 범위가 관찰되었다.

Some lead-based crystals show excellent ferroelectric, piezoelectric or scintillation properties and have attracted much attention in recent years. However, the erosion of the high temperature solution on platinum crucible and the evaporation of PbO component are the main problems often encountered during the crystal growth. In this paper, we reported recent progress on the Bridgman growth of lead-based functional crystals, such as novel relaxor ferroelectric crystals (PZNT and PMNT), scintillation crystals $(PbWO_4,\;PbF_2\;and\;PbClF)$ and piezoelectric crystals $(Pb_5Ge_3O_{11}\;and\;Pb_2KNb_5O_{15}),$ in Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The vertical Bridgman method has been modified to grow PZNT crystals from high temperature solution and as-grown crystals have been characterized. Large size lead-based scintillators, $PbWO_4\;and\;PbF_2$ crystals, have been mass-produced by the vertical Bridgman method in the multi-crucible fumace. These crystals have been supplied to CERN and other laboratories for high-energy physics experiments. The Bridgman growth of piezoelectric crystals $Pb_5Ge_3O_{11}\;and\;Pb_2KNb_5O_{15}$ are discussed also.

Urea($(NH_2)_2CO$) 및 THAMP(Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane phosphate) 유기 단결정은 레이저의 파장변환소자등의 응용에 유용한 새로운 유기 비선형 광학재료(NLO)이다. 온도하강법과 온도차법을 이용하여 urea와 THAMP 유기 단결정의 육성을 시도하였으며 이들 방법에 따른 육성조건을 확립하였다. Urea의 용매로는 용해도의 측정을 통하여 메탄올이 가장 적합하였으며, 용해도에 대한 온도계수는 posotive였으며, 용해열은 - 2.58 kcal/mol이었다. 육성된 urea 결정은 z축의 성장이 지배적이었고, z축의 성장제어와 x, y축의 성장을 위하여 $NH_4_H_2PO_4$, KCL, $H_3PO_4$, $CaCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$, $C_2H_5OH$의 첨가제를 사용하여 z축의 성장제어와 x, y축의 성장을 증진시켰다. THAM과 $H_3PO_4$의 화학 양론적 혼합비 1 : 1의 몰비로부터 양질의 THAMP 유기 단결정을 육성하였고 용해도에 대한 온도계수는 positive였으며, 용해열은 - 1.70 kcal/mol이었다.

Single crystals of the superconducting Y-Ba-Cu oxide were grown by a flux technique. Stoichiometric mixture with excess BaO and CuOcontent was melted at 130$0^{\circ}C$, followed by fast cooling to 108$0^{\circ}C$ to prevent crystallizing of CuO. It was then reheated to 110$0^{\circ}C$ followed by being held at this temperature to control the number of nuclei, and cooled by 5$^{\circ}C$/hr to 80$0^{\circ}C$. This procedure was repeated with various compositions and crystals were obtained in cavity. Molten solution was seperated to two parts : the upper part of almost CuO and the rest of different composition. Appropriate composition of flux was 30mol% BaO and 70mol% CuO due to the seperation of molten solution. Single crystals have the habit of thin plate with good developed (001) crystal face, XRD, EDAX and single crystal X-ray investigations were carried out. The grown crystals have tetragonal structure with the lattice parameters a=b=3.84$\AA$, c=11.7$\AA$, and the space group P4/mmm. The crystal surface were observed by SEM.

In the present paper, potassium lithium niobate(KLN) crystals have been grown along <001>, <100> and <110> directions by the top seeded solution growth (TSSG) method from Li-richer melts with different compositions. The morphologies of KLN crystals grown along different directions have been studied, and the well-developed facets have been unambiguously indexed using X-ray goniometer and stereographic projection analysis. The growth mechanism and defects such as cracks and inclusions were discussed on the basis of observations of facets on the crystal-solution interfaces. The crystal compositions were determined by a chemical analysis method. The structure and lattice constants of KLN crystals were determined and calculated on the basis of XRD data by using TREOR90 and PIRUM programs. The Curie temperature and optical absorption were determined by dielectric constant peak and spectrum measurements. respectively. The blue second harmonic generation (SHG) characteristics of KLN sample were also investigated using a pulsed dye laser.

Morphology of carbonate crystals grown on the surface of artificial cell membranes was controlled by changing the interfacial chemistry. For octadecyltriethoxysilane (OTE) films with terminal methyl groups interacting little with an aqueous calcium carbonate solution calcite (104) crystals were formed. Polymerized pentacosadiynoic acid (PDA) films with terminal carboxylic acid groups induced deposition of calcite (012) crystals aligned along with each other within a polymer domain. On the other hand, stearyl alcohol (StOH) films with terminal hydroxyl groups induced deposition of aragonite crystals. When PDA was mixed with StOH, the 8:1 PDA:StOH (molar ratio) film produced dominating calcite (012) crystals without any crystal alignment, and the 4:1 mixture film produced minor calcite (012) crystals and major aragonite crystals. For the 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, and 1:4 mixture films, aragonite crystals were dominating. Hence, it is found that the chemical composition at the interface plays a very important role in controlling the morphology of deposited carbonate crystals.
