Single crystal growth of apatite-type Al-doped neodymium silicates by the floating zone method

Lanthanoid silicates (Ln9.33Si6O26) adopt the hexagonal apatite structure and show potential as solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) electrolytes due to their high oxide ion conductivity at intermediate temperatures (500–700 °C). Ions migrate preferentially along the crystallographic c-axis, and can be impr...
