Crystal growth of NaxCoO2 under different atmospheres

We have investigated the optimum conditions for the growth of Na xCoO2 single crystals by the optical floating-zone technique. A significant reduction in Na loss, was achieved by using a high-pressure growth atmosphere. A high-pressure oxygen-rich atmosphere during crystal growth was found to reduce...
