Abstract
Magnesium orthovanadate crystals (< Φ 5 mm x L 55 mm) with a well-defined crystallographic orientation have been grown successfully in a four-mirror optical floating zone furnace. The crystals grow in the [010] direction. The transparent orange-brown crystals develop a predominant facet along the [20-1] during the crystal growth and cleave along the [20-1] and [100] directions.
