摘要: A method of growing a rare earth silicate single crystal from a melt of a starting material containing a rare earth oxide and a silicon oxide, wherein the starting material in which a density of Fe as an impurity is not more 0.1 ppm, a density of Al as an impurity is not more than 0.4 ppm, or the starting material showing a weight loss of not more than 1.0% when heated up to 1,000.degree. C. is used. This method which makes it possible to stably obtain a rare earth silicate single crystal having a good scintillator performance, such as free of voids and/or non-colored crystals, or may cause no poor fluorescent characteristics due to a compositional deviation of materials.

摘要: A method of growing a crack-free single crystal is disclosed which comprises heating raw materials in a crucible to thereby obtain a melt of the raw materials, contacting a lower end of a seed crystal with the melt and pulling the seed crystal to thereby grow a single crystal, and wherein the melt of the crucible flows from its surface toward its inner part inside the crucible by convection at a position locating outside a region where the growth of the single crystal occurs. This flow control can be achieved by, for example, surrounding the crucible with a heat insulation refractory composed of a pair of semicylindrical refractories disposed so as to provide a circular cross section with differently sized gaps. In the above-mentioned method, the seed crystal may be rotated during a shoulder growth in which the single crystal has its diameter increased from that of the seed crystal to a target diameter at a rotation rate greater than that during a subsequent cylindrical body growth. Further, in the above-mentioned method, during the shoulder growth, the single crystal may have a solid-liquid interface configuration changed from a convex toward the melt to a flatness or a convex toward the seed crystal.
