摘要
Colorless and crack-free single crystals of bismuth silicate (Bi4Si3O12, BSO) have been grown by the vertical Bridgman method. Some segregation phases have been found to form on the surface and at the top of the crystals grown from both stoichiometric and off-stoichiometric melt compositions. Effect of growth rate and melt composition was also analyzed. Better optical transmittance could be achieved in the crystals grown at a rate of 0.65 mm h-1 or less in air with good reproducibility. It is proposed that BSO crystals of larger size could be grown with fewer difficulties by Bridgman method than by Czochralski method for use in high-energy physics applications.
