In the ternary system Li 2 O‐Nd 2 O 3 ‐P 2 0 5 , part of the phase diagram relevant to the growth of single LindP 4 O 12 (LNP) crystals was examined. LNP melts incongruently and decomposes into NdP 3 O 9 and liquid at the peritectic temperature of 970°C. For the crystal growth, an Li 2 O‐P 2 O 5 mixture should be used as a flux. The melt compositions from which LNP nucleates were clarified.
