GROWTH OF NICKEL-COBALT-MANGANESE OXIDE SINGLE CRYSTALS

摘要

The invention relates to the growth of nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide monocrystals having a cubic spinel structure. The relationship between melt composition and crystal composition is shown in the figure for the MO - Mn203 Flux system. MO is equal to the sum of the NiO and CoO components in the system (Average values in mol %). The initial composition of the melt within area ABC is defined by points A, B and C which are given in mol percent. The composition limits of a cubic spinel crystal are defined along the line bounded by points MO and D which are given in mol percent.
