METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GROWING HIGH QUALITY SINGLE CRYSTAL

摘要

A method for growing a single crystal which comprises contacting a seed crystal (4) to a raw material melt (2) in a crucible (1), characterized in that a blade (5) or a baffle plate is provided in the raw material (2) melt in the crucible (1) and the growing of a single crystal is performed by pulling up the seed crystal with rotating the crucible (1). The method can be used for growing various single crystals including CLBO from a highly viscous melt of a raw material (2) as a high quality and high performance crystal.
