In this paper, we review our researches on the high-quality 3C-SiC bulk crystal growth. The polytype control and the suppression of defects are essential in the growth 3C-SiC on hexagonal SiC seed crystals. The growth polytype of SiC is usually controlled by the inheritance of the seed crystal. In contrast, we established kinetic polytype control in which the preferential growth of 3C-SiC can be achieved by the difference in the growth rates depending on supersaturation for the polytypes. In the growth of 3C-SiC, double positioning boundaries (DPBs) are often formed by the existence of twinned domain. The elimination of DPBs can be achieved utilizing the anisotropy of the step advance velocity.

Yb3+-doped YMgB5O10 (Yb:YMB) crystals with better crystalline quality were grown successfully using the optimized flux of Li2O-B2O3-LiF instead of traditional K2O3-MoO3 flux by the top-seeded solution growth method. The systematic...

The effect of dopant size (ionic radius) on the crystal growth, structure and optical properties of nanocrystalline calcium titanate, CaTiO3(CTO), have been studied using small-angle neutron scattering. X-ray diffraction, along with high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, confirms the growth of pure nanocrystalline CTO. Rietveld analysis reveals that the difference of ionic radii between dopant and host ions induces strain within the lattice, which significantly affects the lattice parameters. The induced strain, due to the difference of ionic radii, causes the shrinkage of the optical band gap, which is manifested by the redshift of the absorbance band. Mesoscopic structural analysis using scattering techniques demonstrates that the ionic radius of the dopant influences the agglomeration behaviour and particle size. A high-resolution transmission electron microscopy study reconfirms the formation of pure highly crystalline CTO nanoparticles.
