The Growth Of Single Crystals Of Kfes2 And Rbfes2 By The Bridgman Method

The vertical Bridgman method was used to grow single crystals of RbFeS2 and KFeS2 with dimensions of 30 mm in length and 10 mm circular diameter. Characterization by X-ray diffraction confirmed the formation of single crystals. The crystals of KFeS2 presented a very well defined cleavage plane normal to the [110] direction. © 1984.673483485SC; Office of ScienceTaft, Raj, Danon, (1974) J.
