Epitaxial layers are grown from a body of molten material which includes flux and layer constituent components; included in the flux are lead oxide and a small amount of boron trioxide. As compared with prior-art processing in the absence of boron trioxide, enhanced yield is realized as believed to be due to reduced adhesion of solidifying material entrained upon withdrawal of a substrate after growth. The method is particularly useful in the manufacture of magnetic domain devices designed to operate at extreme temperatures, as well as in the manufacture of magneto-optic devices such as, e.g., switches, modulators, and isolators.
