Abstract

Different growth speeds and thermal annealings were applied to Bridgman grown crystals. Several characterization methods (X-ray topography, energy dispersive atomic spectroscopy (EDAX) etc.) showed that the most suitable conditions are a high growing speed and a thermal treatment of no less than 30 days.
