Abstract

Langasite$(La_{3}Ga_{5}SiO_{14})$ single crystal was successfully grown by Floating Zone (FZ) method and characterized. The growth rate was 1.5 mm/h and the rotation speed was 15 rpm for an upper rotation and 13 rpm for a lower rotation. The grown crystal was 12 mm in length and 6 mm in diameter. The grown crystal was dark orange color and it was grown along [001] direction. The composition of grown crystal and the structure were analyzed using XRD and WDS. The electrical properties of grown crystal at various frequencies and temperatures were discussed.
