Abstract: The electric-field effect on crystallization processes in the Li<subscript>3</subscript>PO<subscript>4</subscript>-Li<subscript>4</subscript>GeO<subscript>4</subscript>-Li<subscript>2</subscript>MoO<subscript>4</subscript>-LiF system are studied. In zero field, Li<subscript>3+x</subscript>-P<subscript>1-x</subscript>Ge<subscript>x</subscript>O<subscript>4</subscript> single crystals with x = 0.31 are obtained. An applied electric field leads to the growth of bulk Li<subscript>2</subscript>MoO<subscript>4</subscript> (V = 0.8 V) or Li<subscript>2</subscript>GeO<subscript>3</subscript> (V = 0.15 V) single crystals. The phosphate ions are not incorporated into the crystallizing phases and are present in the form of phosphate glass. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
