Electron microscopy study of microsegregation and defects in Czochralski grown calcium gallium germanium garnet single crystals

Abstract

Microstructural defects in single crystal specimens of calcium electron microscopy s. High voltage transmission electron imaging and diffract were used to characterize the observed defects with respect to the morphology, structure, and crystallography. Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) with x-ray microanalysis was employed to determine the elemental composition of certain defects.
