- Summary
- Techniques are being developed for synthesizing large single crystals of beryllium oxide for a variety of physical, mechanical, and chemical property measurements. This work has resulted in the routine production of crystals up to 5 mm in size. Results from physical chemical studies into the growth mechanism of these crystals indicate that crystals having even larger dimensions may be synthesized in the near future. The most successful technique developed has been the growth of crystals from a molten flux. Another method, water vapor transport, since abandoned because of its failure to yield large crystals. will also be described for information to those experimenters attempting to grow crystals by this method.
