Removal of Copper Vacancies in Cuprous Oxide Single Crystals Grown by the Floating Zone Method

Single crystals of cuprous oxide (Cu2O) with minimal defects were grown using the optical floating zone technique. Copper vacancies were removed through the promotion of CuO precipitation within the bulk Cu2O crystal following the reaction CuCu Cu2O + VCu Cu2O + OO Cu2O → CuCu CuO + OO CuO. This rea...
