    Abstract: 1,149,492. Lithium niobate. WESTERN ELECTRIC CO. Inc. 7 July, 1966 [12 July, 1965], No. 30535/66. Heading C1A. [Also in Division B1] A lithium niobate crystal is treated by passing an electrical current through at least a portion of it whilst this portion is maintained at a temperature of at least 1000‹ C. Alternatively, a lithium niobate crystal is grown by pulling from a melt and an electrical current is passed through the crystal and through the interface between the growing crystal and the melt. The current density is at least 0À1 ma/cm 2 . when treating the crystal alone and at least 0À5 ma/cm. 2 when using the melt. The treatment is said to influence the formation of magnetic domains in the crystal and a reversal of current during the treatment produces a second magnetic domain. The current may be reversed several times during the treatment to produce a series of domains.

    Abstract: In pulling from a melt a single crystal of calcium, strontium or barium tungstate containing 0.01-15 atom per cent of trivalent rare earth metal ions, the melt contains at least 1.5 sodium, potassium or lithium ions per trivalent ion and up to 30 atom per cent thereof (based on divalent ions). The rare earth metal may be neodymium, cerium or thulium. The mono-, di-, and trivalent metal tungstates may be formed by the reaction of oxide, nitrate or carbonate with tungstic acid anhydride.ALSO:In pulling from a melt a single crystal of calcium, strontium or barium tungstate containing 0.01-15 atom per cent of trivalent rare earth metal ions, the melt contains at least 1.5 sodium, potassium or lithium ions per trivalent ion and up to 30 atom per cent thereof (based on divalent ions). The rare earth metal may be neodymium, cerium or thulium. The mono-di-, and tri-valent metal tungstates may be formed by the reaction of oxide, nitrate or carbonate with tungstic acid anhydride. The metal temperature may be 1525-1625 DEG C. The crucible may be of rhodium or iridium. The crystal may be pulled at 0.5 in/hr and rotated at 60 rpm. Pulling may be in an inert or oxygen-containing atmos.
