Abstract

A complex of laboratory growth facilities, designed for solution–melt synthesis of highly perfect single crystals of iron borate, as well as crystals based on this compound, has been developed and constructed. Equipping growth plants with program-controlled functional units makes it possible to fully automate the technological process. As a result of test experiments single crystals of iron borate FeBO3 and single crystals doped with diamagnetic gallium atoms, Fe\(_{{1-x}}\)GaxBO3, were obtained. The high structural perfection of the synthesized samples was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis and high-resolution electron microscopy.

Funding

The study was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (project no. 19-29-12016/21-mk) in the part of expanding technological capabilities, setting up laboratory growth equipment and preparing it for operation, and carrying out synthesis and X-ray analysis of single crystals. XRF measurements were supported by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation within the State assignment for the Federal Scientific Research Centre “Crystallography and Photonics” of the Russian Academy of Sciences, using equipment of the Shared Research Center. Shaft furnaces SShOL-1.3/12-I1, temperature controllers TERMODAT-19Е5, and overhead stirrers SMR-308 were purchased in the framework of the Program of Development of the Vernadsky Crimean Federal University for 2014–2024.
