A correlation has been revealed between the formation conditions, composition, morphology, and physicochemical properties of NaBi{sub 1-x}(W{sub 1+y}O{sub 4}){sub 2} crystals (0 {<=} x {<=} 0.16, 0 {<=} y {<=} 0.11). The effect of melt deviation from stoichiometry on the decomposition rate of grown crystals under electron beam irradiation is shown by transmission electron microscopy. A nonuniform dopant distribution over the crystal boule cross-section is found by microprobe analysis. The Raman spectra of the samples depend on their crystallographic orientation.
