“…Compared with the Cz method, the edge-defined film-fed growth (EFG) method shows an improvement by installing a die with some capillary slits in the Ir crucible. By the EFG method, the crystal growth is carried out in the thin-layer melt on the top of die, and thus, it has a large temperature gradient and a flat growth interface. − In view of the advantages of the EFG method, our group has grown some centimeter-size TAG crystals. In this paper, the influence of melt components and other factors on the crystal quality are discussed, and the magneto-optical, mechanical, and thermal properties of as-grown crystals are also analyzed, which can provide the basis data for the practical application.…”

Vis−NIR magneto-optical crystals are the key materials in the fields of optical fiber communication, smart grids, optical fiber lasers, and so on. In this paper, the incongruentmelting Tb 3 Al 5 O 12 (TAG) single crystals with centimeter size and high quality were grown rapidly by an EFG method with the suitable design of a melt component. The effects of the sintering temperature of polycrystalline materials, the melt component, and the growth rate on the crystal quality were discussed in detail. The Verdet constants, hardness, thermal expansion coefficients, specific heat capacities, and thermal diffusivities of TAG crystal were measured. The results show that the Verdet constant of the TAG crystal is 8−30% larger than those of Tb 3 Sc 2 Al 3 O 12 (TSAG) and Tb 3 Ga 5 O 12 (TGG) crystals. Additionally, the TAG crystal also has the advantage in both thermal conductivity and hardness. Therefore, the TAG crystal has good comprehensive performance and thus has important application prospects.

“…It has been applied to grow sapphire crystals with intricate cross sections, silicon ribbons, hollow prisms for photovoltaic applications etc. (LaBelle, 1980;Ravi, 1977;Epelbaum et al, 1999;Nie et al, 2012;Zhuang et al, 2011). By using this method, it is easy to design a growth interface with a large axial temperature gradient.…”

Crystalline yttrium iron garnet (YIG) is an important magneto‐optical material. However, this crystal is an incongruent melting compound. As is well known, compared to the crystal growth of a congruent melting compound by using the Czochralski method, the crystal growth of an incongruent melting compound is more difficult. In this work, a system for growing Ga:YIG single crystals by the edge‐defined film‐fed growth (EFG) method was designed and constructed, and the mechanism of crystal growth was also preliminarily studied. The Ga3+ dopant concentration, the Curie temperature and the transmission spectra of as‐grown crystals were investigated to evaluate their potential application in magneto‐optical devices. The success of growing Ga:YIG crystals by the EFG method provides a new way to grow other incongruent melting compounds.
