Emerald (3BeO.Al2O3.6SiO2 : Cr3+) single crystals were crystals were grown by reflux method of temperature gradient in the flux solution of Li2O-MoO3-V2O5 system. The composition of flux materials were 3 mole ratio of MoO3-V2O5/Li2O, subtituted 0.2 mole% of K2O, Na2O, Nb2O5 etc to Li2O content, solved 10-15% of beryl to flux quantity and doped 1% of Cr2O3 to emerald amount. Those of mixing were melted at 110$0^{\circ}C$ in Pt containers of the 3 zone furnace of melt-growth-return to circulate continniously, specially it has been grown large emerald single crystal when thermal fluctuation was treated for 2hrs of once time a day at 1050-95$0^{\circ}C$ in growth zone, substitutional solid solution effect of Cr+3 ion for Al+3 to the growth of emerald single crystal was good. Emerald single crystals were c(0001) hexagonal crystal face of preferencial growth direction and m(1010) post side. When it had been durated for 5 months emerald single crystals of the firet size of 0.6mm thickness of seed crystal were grown 32$\times$65mm(c x m) of maximum size and 6.2mm thickness.

$YbFeCoO_4$ single crystal was grown by floating zone method. The atmospheric condition of the growth was controlled in air and the growth rate was 1~2 mm/hr. After melting the feed rod of the composition of $YbFeCoO_4$, $YbFeCoO_4$ was decomposed to $YbFeCoO_4$ and CoO phase in the initial state of the growth. The liquid composition, however, changed to the direction of the eutectic point along the liquidus line and then stopped at the point in which $YbFeCoO_4$ single crystal could be grown. The growth direction of the crystal was preferred orientation [110], perpendicular to the c-axis in the hexagonal system due to using the polycrystalline seed.

High purity SiC fine powder with metal impurity contents of less than 1 ppm was synthesized by improved carbothermal reduction process, and the synthesized powder was used for SiC single crystal growth in RF heating PVT device at temperature above 2,100℃. In-situ x-ray image analyzer was used to observe the sublimation of the powder and single crystal growth behavior during the growth process. SiC powder was used as a source of single crystal growth, exhausted from the outside of the graphite crucible at the growth temperature and left graphite residues. During the growth, the flow of raw materials was concentrated in the middle and influenced the growth behavior of SiC single crystals. This is due to the difference in temperature distribution inside the crucible due to the fine powder. After the single crystal growth was completed, the single crystal ingot was cut into a 1 mm thick single crystal substrate and finely polished using a diamond abrasive slurry. A dark yellow 4H-SiC was observed overall of single crystal substrate, and the polycrystals generated in the outer part may be caused by the incorporation of impurities such as the bubble layer mixed in the process of attaching the seed crystal to the seed holder.

The paper studies the growth and application of LBO Crystal and points that thermodynamics and dynamics model of crystal growth should be developed in high-$\eta$(viscosity) melt. The measurement on properties of crystal resonator and press-controlled oscillator indicates that this kind of crystal is one kind of piezo-electric crystal materials which has large-market application potentiality.

In suite of their superior optical and laser properties rare-earth orthovanadate single crystals have not been adopted yet into extensive industrial applications because of crystal growth difficulties. The edge-defined film-fed-growth (EFG) technique was applied successfully for the production of such crystals. At first time 1 inch $LuVO_4$ single crystals were grown by the EFG technique using newly developed die construction of high porous iridium with the application of automatic diameter control system.

Silicon single crystals were continuously grown by a modified process. Polycrystalline silicon powder was fed from the top reservoir to the growth chamber. Silicon single crystals were grown from the botton of the growth chamber. The balance between the gravitational force of melt and the centrifugal force originated from the rotation of seed was the one of the main factors to control the diameter of crystals grown and quality, etc.

Pure and Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) doped L-arginine phosphate (LAP) single crystals were grown from the aqueous solution by temperature lowering method. The effect of EDTA additive on the solubility and metastable zone width of LAP solution has been investigated. Addition of EDTA has enhanced the metastable zone width of LAP and hence bulk crystals could be grown. The growth rate along the [100] direction increases with EDTA additive. Powder X-ray diffraction and FTIR studies reveal the absence of EDTA in the lattice of LAP, This reveals that the addition of EDTA to LAP doesn't influence the crystallinity. However, the transmittance and NLO properties significantly increase with EDTA additive and hence bulk LAP crystals are useful for laser fusion experiments.

The temperature profile of Czochralski single crystal growth system was simulated considering the fluid flow and surface radiation heat transfer. View factors of surface elements were calculated for radiation heat transfer. Two phases(solid and liquid) were treated as a continuous phase by assigning artificial large viscosity to the solid phase and latent heat was accounted by iterative heat revolution method. The solidification model was applied to solid front of the pure Ga during the melting to verify the model. The whole simulation model of CZ system was applied to the growth Al single crystal.

Recently sapphire crystals are used in LED applications. The Czochralski (CZ) growth process is one of the most important techniques for growing high quality sapphire single crystal. A successful growth of perfect single crystals requires the control of heat and mass transport phenomena in the CZ growth furnace. In this study, the growth processes of the sapphire crystal in an inductively heated CZ furnace have been analyzed numerically using finite element method. The results shown that the high temperature positions moved from the crucible surface to inside the melt and the crystal-melt interface changed to the flat shape when the rpm was increased. Also the crystal-melt interface shape has been influenced by the shoulder shape of the grown crystal during the initial stage.
