- Abstract
The oxoborate Ca4GdO(BO3)3 (GdCOB) is a potential material for advanced industrial applications because of its optical and electric properties. High quality single crystals of GdCOB have been grown from a melt using the Czochralski method. Single crystals of laboratory scale are of good optical quality showing no macroscopic defects like cracks, inclusions or discolouration. Crystals in [001] direction reveal regular growth, whereas crystals in [010] are of asymmetric shape but show less difficulties during the growth process.
