Top-Seeded Solution Growth Technique
Top-seeded solution growth technique is one of the "Flux growth" techniques which is the most commonly used growth method from high temperature solutions. The components of the desired materials are dissolved in a solvent. Crystals can be grown below the melting temperature which prevents decomposition before melting or a phase transition below the melting point.

Facilities

  • Top-seeded solution growth system - temperature: up to 1540° C

Crystals grown using this technique:

  • Pure and doped BaTiO3
  • Beta BaB2O4
