Dynamic control over the heat field during LBO crystal growth by High temperature solution method

The paper presents LiB3O5 crystal growth under oscillating temperature regime provided by sequential switching of the heaters placed around the crucible. First results have demonstrated the ability to grow high-quality crystals under dynamicaly changed (rotating) heat field confirming the possibility to control over heat-mass-transfer processes by proposed contact free method.

► Growth of LiB3O5 crystals in principally new conditions.
► Heaters of the furnace are switching forming wave of the heat field.
► Temperature oscillations provides increased crystal quality and yield coefficient.
