Abstract
Crystals of potassium titanyl arsenate were prepared by top seeded solution growth from a tungstate flux. X-ray topography revealed extensive growth banding in several sectors associated with temperature induced fluctuations in composition and impurity content. This was confirmed to some extent by energy dispersive X-ray analysis measurements which revealed significant levels of tungsten incorporation from the flux and higher levels of iron impurity from the starting materials. The overall dislocation density in (011) and (001) growth sectors was determined to be <102cm-2. X-ray diffraction rocking curve measurements confirmed a low average strain across the crystal.
