Abstract

The electric-field effect on crystallization processes in the Li3PO4–Li4GeO4–Li2MoO4–LiF system are studied. In zero field, Li3 + x P1 – x Ge x O4 single crystals with x = 0.31 are obtained. An applied electric field leads to the growth of bulk Li2MoO4 (V = 0.8 V) or Li2GeO3 (V = 0.15 V) single crystals. The phosphate ions are not incorporated into the crystallizing phases and are present in the form of phosphate glass.
