Crystal growth and thermodynamic properties of lithium tungstate doped by 4% molybdenum

For the first time, single crystal of Li₂W_0.96Mo_0.04O₄ has been grown by low-temperature-gradient Czochralski technique. The thermodynamic characteristics (standard formation enthalpy and lattice enthalpy) that are necessary to improve the growth technology have been studied by solution calorimetry. For Li₂W_1–xMo_xO₄ single crystals, correlations of lattice enthalpies and standard formation enthalpies with tolerance factor were found.
