Single crystals of La 3 Nb 0.5 Ga 5.5 O 14 were grown from different starting melt compositions by the Czochralski technique. The effect of the melt composition on crystal quality was examined by measuring the variation of chemical composition and lattice parameters along the growth axis. The existence of a solid solution range of La 3 Nb 0.5 Ga 5.5 O 14 is discussed using X‐ray crystal structure analysis.
