摘要: Growth methods based on high-temperature solutions, traditionally also known as flux growth methods, and especially the top-seeded solution (TSSG) liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE) are some of most popular by which to grow single crystals. These have be used when grown materials melt incongruently, at very high temperatures, or suffer from polymorphic transitions below crystallization temperature. In this chapter we review main advances produced in these crystal techniques during recent years, both bulk epitaxial films, for two families oxide materials, specifically those commonly solid-state lasers nonlinear optical We intend focus application real problems related solutions with different viscosities, while revisiting strategies developed overcome enable crystals single-crystalline films good quality.
