摘要
Several patterns of dendritic crystals of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3-PbTiO3 grown by the Bridgman process have been identified. This phenomenon arose from constitutional supercooling of the pseudo binary solid solution system. Therefore, macroscopic segregation and constitutional supercooling should be simultaneously restrained during crystal growth in order to obtain uniform crystals in composition and structure. A high growth temperature, larger temperature gradient and slower growth rate should be adopted to maintain stable a growth interface.
