Bi/sub 2/WO/sub 6/ is a polar material in the bismuth titanate family, Bi/sub 2/M/sub n-1/R/sub n/0/sub 3n+3/. Additions of NaF to a Na/sub 2/WO/sub 4/ - WO/sub 3/ flux yielded large single crystals up to 0.8 mm thick, which were free of inclusions. Total impurities were less than 500 ppM, and the crystals were single domain.
