Abstract

In a method for producing a monocrystalline body, in particular a laser crystal, a green body is constructed from one or more powders of one or more starting materials, the green body is sintered, thereby forming a ceramic, and the ceramic is converted into a monocrystalline structure by means of a solid-state recrystallization process. The method is characterized in that the powder crystals of the powder(s) are mixed or coated with fluxes in order to construct the green body, said fluxes increasing the mobility of grain boundaries during the formation of the ceramic and/or dissolving grain material during the formation of the ceramic and crystallizing the grain material out during the solid-state recrystallization process. The method facilitates a faster recrystallization process and allows a reduction of pores and enclosures in the ceramic starting material and thus a production of a crystal with a higher degree of purity.
