Growth of single crystal YB 66 from the melt
Abstract
Cubic YB 66 has been synthesized in quantity and pulled as crystal boules from water cooled copper boats. Crystals of good quality have been grown by the pedestal technique. Interaction of the melt with refractories, crystal purity, and the B-Y phase diagram in the vicinity of YB 66 are reported.
