Abstract
This project proposes the development of an innovative methodology for the large-scale synthesis of micrometric garnet single crystals using the controlled crystallization of oxide glasses. The method consists of melting a glass composition based on GeO¿-PbO-Bi¿O¿-X2O3-TR¿O¿ (X = Fe, Ga and Al; RE = rare-earth ions) at high temperatures (1200-1300 °C), followed by controlled cooling to in…
