Titanium substituted barium hexaferrite BaFe12−xTixO19 single crystal was grown by the top seeded solution growth method from flux on the seed with controlled cooling below 1175 °C. Titanium substitution level gradient in the single crystal in the vertical and horizontal directions was studied. Two planes were cut and polished. A justification for the linear gradient of Ti substitution in a BaFe12−xTixO19 single crystal is proposed; substitution levels in the center and periphery were determined. It was shown that upon growth by the top seeded solution growth method, crystals with a linear Ti substitution level gradient from x = 0.73 to x = 0.77 for a distance of 11 mm along pulling direction were obtained. The study led to the conclusion about the relationship of the gradient and changes in the composition of the nutrient solution.

A single crystal of ferroelectric 0.88(Bi,Na)TiO30.12BaTiO3 (BNTBT) solid solution with tetragonal P4mm structure was grown by the top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) method at a high oxygen pressure (PO2) of 0.9 MPa. The crystals grown by the high-PO2 TSSG method exhibited a large remanent polarization (Pr) of 54 μC/cm2, which leads to a spontaneous polarization of 54 μC/cm2. The large Pr compared with that of crystals grown at PO2 = 0.1 MPa is suggested to originate from a low oxygen vacancy concentration for the crystals grown at a higher PO2. The high-PO2 TSSG method was demonstrated to be effective for obtaining BNTBT crystals with superior polarization and piezoelectric properties.
