In article number 2000105, Juraj Kajan and co‐workers analyze the quality specifics of 170 × 300 × 35mm YAG and Yb:YAG single‐crystals produced via vacuum horizontal directed crystallization (HDC) equipment incorporating a graphite thermal unit. The paper sheds light on the issue of facet formation in given method, analyzing quality changes throughout the crystal's volume while contemplating the causes for various defects formation.
