Abstract
A new calcium tantalum gallium garnet (CTGG) single crystal with dimensions of Ï25Ã40Â mm2 was grown for the first time by the Czochralski method. The structure of the crystal has been studied by the X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), and belongs to the cubic system with a space group of Ia3d, a=12.5053(1)Â Ã
. The melting point of CTGG was measured to be 1546.2 °C. The crystal possesses a wide transmission range from UV to IR, which is advantageous for applications as a laser host material. The refractive indices were also measured by the V-prism method.
