Preparation of Single Crystals of the Nonstoicmometric Fluorite Phases M1-xRxF2+x (M = Ca, Sr, Ba; R = Rare Earth Elements) by the Bridgman-Stockbarger Method
Abstract:INTRODUCTIONResearch on the preparation and study of single-crystalline M 1 -N2+x (R = rare earth element, REE) materials with large deviations from stoichiometry began at the Institute of Crystallography of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR in 1963. The efforts were continued in cooperation with the chemistry staff of Moscow State University. Progress on the quest and preparation of crystals of nonstoichiometric fluorides for quantum electronics up to 1978 was reviewed in dissertations [2]. However, a large… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
