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

For the first time, single crystal of Li2W0.96Mo0.04O4 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 Li2W1-xMoxO4 single crystals, correlations of lattice enthalpies and standard formation enthalpies with tolerance factor were found.
