Holding time did not appear to have a significant impact on crystal size or quality. Using a 15 % mol Li<sub>2</sub>O – 85 % mol MoO<sub>3</sub> flux system with 6 % mol of Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and a holding temperature of 1180 °C, highly transparent Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> single crystals up to 5 mm in size can be grown. The grown crystals show promising features for future radiation detection applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":432,"journal":{"name":"Solid State Sciences","volume":"160 ","pages":"Article 107835"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143098241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
