The features of growth of single crystals of cadmium and zinc tungstates by the low thermal gradient Czochralski technique have been investigated. The effect of change in the growth conditions on the crystal morphology and the capture of macroinclusions is studied. Crystals 45 mm in diameter and up to 150 mm long (cylindrical part) are obtained. Their optical and scintillation characteristics are measured.
