Abstract

$YMnO_{3}$ single crystals have been grown by a floating zone technique and the optimal growth conditions were investigated. Their crystallinity and microstructure were characterized by the chemical etch pit patterns, their distribution and the compositional difference depending on the G value. In particular, the microstructural feature was interpreted in terms of compositional deviation along radial direction on (1010) growth plane.
