Abstract
It is shown that interface shape changes, often induced during the growth of gadolinium gallium garnet single crystals in order to control defects, can occur naturally under specific conditions. Changes in both crystal weight and melt temperature, associated with changes in interface shape, are consistent with a melting-back process arising from modification to the flow patterns in the melt.
