Abstract

The large lattice parameter (a_o equals 23.44 angstroms) of cubic YB₆₆ together with its vacuum compatibility, mechanical properties and resistance to radiation damage makes this material well suited for use as soft x-ray monochromator in the 1 - 2 keV region. Crystals obtained by various growth modes of an indirect heating floating zone (IHFZ) technique are characterized with x-ray topography and rocking curve measurements using both laboratory and synchrotron sources. The results indicate that high quality single crystals of YB₆₆ large enough to accept at least 1 mrad of synchrotron beam can be produced.
