Seed orientation and pulling rate effects on bubbles and strain distribution on a sapphire crystal grown by the micro-pulling down method

Undoped sapphire rod crystals along different crystallographic orientations (a [112̄0], m [101̄0], c [0001] and c [0001] shifted 30° off axis) were successfully grown by the micro-pulling down (μ-PD) method.
