Langasite (LGS) is a material hoped to meet needs required of new base materials for future communication devices (e.g.SAW filters). In this study, synthesis of new materials was pursued by developing new compounds with the host structure of Langasite in hopes to obtain materials with improved characteristics; compounds including $La_3$$Ta_{0.5}$$Ga_{5.5}$$O_{14}$(LTG)and $La_3$$Nb_{0.25}$$Ta_{0.25}$$Ga_{5.5}$$O_{14}$(LNTG) were synthesized by solid state reactions. Characteristics of the compound synthesized in question were determined. The single crystals of Langasite-type were grown using the Czochralski method. The growth conditions for LTG and LNTG were studied and were found to be similar to those of LGS. The growth characteristics of LNTG were observed by studying etch pit formation density along the crystal length.
