Abstract

CeO2 crystals have previously been grown by the flux method [1—4] due to their high melting point and high vapour pressure [5] at high temperatures. The flux method requires high temperatures and generally brings about greater contamination of the flux than does the hydrothermal method. This study deals with the effect of several mineralizers on the crystallization and the crystal growth of CeO2 under hydrothermal conditions.
