Abstract
Space grown BSO crystal doped with Ce was characterized by means of X-ray fluorescence spectra, X-ray topography, dislocation density etc. Influence of microgravity on Ce-doped BSO crystal defect was studied by comparing space grown BSO crystal with ground grown one. These results show that compositional homogeneity and structural perfection of crystal can be improved under microgravity conditions.
