Bulk GaPO is an advanced piezoelectric material operating under high temperatures according to the α-β phase transition at 970 °C. This work presents the technological development of a hydrothermal refluxing method first applied for GaPO single crystal growth. Crystals of 10-20 g were grown in mixtures of aqueous solutions of low- and high-vapor-pressure acids (HPO/HCl) at 180-240 °C (10-20 bars).

Single crystals of α-quartz-type SiGeO (x < 0.12), grown under hydrothermal conditions in NHF solutions, were investigated using infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy. Compositional dependencies of the IR absorption spectra were found both for the fundamental and combination vibrations.
