Effects of KNO2 added to KNO3 fused crystals on the phase transitions were studied. It turned out that the addition of 3 mol % KNO2 makes the phase III (ferroelectric phase) unstable, which is consistent with the conclusion from γ-ray irradiation study. With the advantage of absence of the phase III the possibility of growing KNO3–KNO2 single crystals by a double Bridgman method was examined. Transparent crystals were obtained successfully.
