Low‐temperature Ruby Crystal Growth Via a Supersaturation Process Based on Flux Decomposition (Small 18/2024)
Source abstract
Abstract
Crystal Growth In article number 2308047, Katsuya Teshima and co-workers report low-temperature growth of ruby (chromium-doped Al2O3) crystals at 750 °C, which is one-third of the conventional required temperature (2050 °C). Supersaturation derived from decomposition of crystal-solvent intermediates leads to this achievement. The proposed method is a novel eco-friendly and low energy-consumption process that breaks the conventional frontiers of crystal growth.
