Flux Crystal Growth, Crystal Structure, and Optical Properties of New Germanate Garnet Ce2CaMg2Ge3O12

A new germanate garnet compound, Ce2CaMg2Ge3O12, was synthesized via flux crystal growth. Truncated spherical, reddish-orange single crystals with a typical size of 0.1–0.3 mm were grown out of a BaCl2-CaCl2 melt. The single crystals were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, w...
