The present Tutorial provides a description of the growth bulk β-Ga2O3 single crystals by Czochralski method with focus on critical aspects. In particular, it details thermodynamics Ga2O3 as key factor for crystal along comprehensive solutions that are essential size scale-up. Also, free carrier absorption is discussed, has great impact stability. direction and intentional doping, important fac...

Single crystals of NdVO4 were grown by the Czochralski method under ambient pressure in a nitrogen atmosphere. Obtained crystals were transparent with strong violet coloring. Temperature and angular dependences of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of the samples in the 3-103 K temperature range were analyzed applying Dyson like lineshape typically used for concentrated magnetic syst...

We present a method of measurement of the extraordinary refractive index dispersion in MIR for periodically and aperiodically poled nonlinear crystals with unknown or uncertain periods. The method is based on the spontaneous parametric down-conversion and is useful for the crystals with domain structure formed directly in the process of growth by Czochralski technique. As an example we measure ...
