Edge defined Film Fed Growth (EFG) method with molybdenum (Mo) crucible and die was studied for the growth of several oxide-based single crystals. At first, reactivity between the molybdenum (Mo) metal and oxide melts of Ce:(Lu,Y)(2)SiO5 (LYSO) Ce:Y2SiO5 (YSO), Ce:Gd-3(Al,Ga)(5)O-12 (GAGG), Ce:Lu3Al5O12 (LuAG), Ce:Y3Al5O12 (YAG) was investigated. The experimental and calculation results on the reactivity with Mo show that the aluminum garnets (LuAG, YAG) had the smallest reactivity with Mo metal. On the contrary, GAGG showed the strongest reaction with Mo. Then, the multiple-die grown shaped single crystal growth of Ce:LuAG was demonstrated by EFG method. Single crystal plates up to 320 mm in length were grown successfully. The homogeneity of dopant distribution, Mo contamination, luminescence and scintillation responses of the grown crystals were evaluated.
