Structure of KTiOPO 4 single crystals grown by the top-seeded solution and spontaneous flux crystallization methods

Structure of KTiOPO 4 single crystals grown by the top-seeded solution and spontaneous flux... Abstract This paper reports on the results of precision X-ray structural investigations of KTiOPO4 single crystals grown by one method (crystallization from a solution in the melt) in two variants (the spontaneous formation of crystallization centers or top-seeded solution growth during slow cooling of saturated solution melts). It is shown that spontaneous flux crystallization leads to the formation of a larger number of defects. Potassium atoms are found to be disordered. The splitting of the K1 and K2 potassium positions is equal to 0.347(4) and 0.279(3) Å, respectively, for the crystals grown by the top-seeded solution method and 0.308(5) and 0.321(4) Å, respectively, for the crystals grown through the spontaneous flux crystallization. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Crystallography Reports Springer Journals

The splitting of the K1 and K2 potassium positions is equal to 0.347(4) and 0.279(3) Å, respectively, for the crystals grown by the top-seeded solution method and 0.308(5) and 0.321(4) Å, respectively, for the crystals grown through the spontaneous flux crystallization.
