White-beam X-ray topography has been performed to provide direct evidence of micro-voids in dislocation-free high-purity germanium single crystals. The voids are visible because of a dynamical diffraction contrast. It is shown that voids occur only in dislocation-free parts of the crystal and do not show up in regions with homogeneous and moderate dislocation density. It is further suggested that the voids originate from clustering of vacancies during the growth process. A general method is proposed to verify the presence of voids for any crystalline material of high structural perfection.

The annealing effect on the structural perfection of Fe-doped LiNbO3single crystals has been studied by high-resolution X-ray diffractometry (HRXRD), X-ray topography (XRT) and Fourier transform infrared (FT–IR) spectroscopy. The single crystals, prepared by mixing Li2CO3and Nb2O5powders in the molar ratio 48.6:51.4 with 0.05 mol% of iron at 1415 (1) K, were grown by the Czochralski (CZ) method along the [001] direction in air and poled during crystal growth by the application of a DC field. Two low-angle (tilt angle ∼1 arc minute) structural grain boundaries were observed in as-grown specimens. FT–IR spectra revealed that these crystals contain OH−and CO32−ionic defects. Grain boundaries and CO32−ionic defects were successfully removed, while the concentration of OH−ions was considerably reduced by post-growth thermal annealing at elevated temperatures.

The paper attempts to determine structural perfection of monocrystalline nickel superalloys using X-ray topography. Monocrystalline bars and turbine blades were manufactured in an ALD Vacuum Technologies furnace using the Bridgman method. Pulling out rates typical for CMSX-4 nickel superalloys were used. It has been found that in the case of monocrystalline bars the structural perfection determined based on X-ray topograms does not depend on the distance from the selector. Instead, for blades the structural perfection significantly decreases with increasing distance from the selector.

A high seed temperature (2251 °C) reveals the highest deep UV transparency (α265nm = 27 cm−1), a high structural perfection (EPD = 9 × 103 cm−2) and a suitable growth rate (R = 200 μm h−1).
