Аннотация:Chrysoberyl and alexandrite crystals have been grown from solutions in melts based on the Li2CO3-MoO3, Bi2O3-MoO3, PbO-V2O5, Na2B4O7, and K2MoO4-MoO3 systems using natural alexandrite and chrysoberyl debris as the initial BeAl2O4 compound. An analysis of the morphology and homogeneity of the crystals grown has revealed the Bi2O3-MoO3 solvent to be the most appropriate. The optimal color characteristics (“quality” of alexandrite effect) manifest themselves when adding about 5 mol % Cr2O3. The largest crystals (up to 10 mm in size) were obtained from a solution in melt based on PbO-V2O5 at a ratio of the crystal-forming component to the solvent of 9: 91 wt %; These characteristics, along with a relatively low operating temperature (970°C), give grounds to consider this type of solvent promising.
