Abstract: | Magnetic single crystals garnets Ca3 X2 Ge3 O12 with X = Mn3+ or Fe3+ containing Ca2+ and Ge4+ are of great interest due to the rise of an antifer-romagnetic order in one definite octahedral site. The optimal conditions for obtaining single magnetic-sublattice garnets of large size (1 cm in diameter) have been analyzed. Two groups of solvents have been tested: Bi2 O3 or PbO based flux. The best results were obtained with PbO flux and starting composition : % Moles 44 PbO 1b 35 GeO2 1b 15 CaO 1b 6 X2 O3. |
