Abstract

KDy3F10 crystals have been grown from melt by the Bridgman technique. The incongruent character of melting of this compound is confirmed. The optimal melt composition for growing KDy3F10 crystals has been determined experimentally and found to be 27.0 ± 0.5 mol % KF. KDy3F10, as well as KTb3F10, is a phase of variable composition. It is characterized by the presence of a small homogeneity region, where the cubic lattice (sp. gr. \(Fm\bar {3}m\)) parameter is limited to the range from 11.6276(2) to 11.6118 (2) Å. The temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity of KDy3F10 and DyF3 crystals has been investigated for the first time, and some of their optical characteristics have been studied.
