A set of U₃Si₅ crystal growths have been completed, varying crystal pull rate, rotation rate and crystal size to evaluate the effect of crystal growth parameters on the quality and uniformity of the resultant crystals in order to determine the best set of growth conditions to produce crystals suitable for use as reference materials. The reference crystals can then be used for a variety of experiments to produce a consistent data set to inform modeling and simulation. Characterization of these crystals is ongoing. (K. McClellan)
