The mutual solubility of Ca9Y(VO4)(7) and Li3VO4 was investigated in detail, Ca9Y(VO4)(7) has high solubility in Li3VO4. Based on this, a high duality Ca9Y(VO4)(7) crystal was grown successfully by the FluxCzochralski method from Li3VO4 flux. The thermal conductivity, thermal expansion coefficient, optical transmittance and crystal detect or the grown Ca9Y(VO4)(7) crystal were measured, and compared with those or the Ca9Y(VO4)(7) crystal grown by the traditional Czochralski method. The results show that the Ca9Y(VO4)(7) crystal grown by the Flux-Czochralski method has much higher optical quality, and the FluxCzochralski method is suitable to the growth of vanadate crystals.
