Abstract: The Transparent and semi-transparent mixed inclusion is sometime found in the rutile single crystal grown by flame fusion methods. Moreover, parallel
stripes are shown in the inclusion. By means of XRD and SEM, (110) face of crystal with inclusion was investigated. It is shown that inclusion is
polycrystal, which consists of (110) orientated small crystal grains, some of them are affected by tension stress, the others by pressure stress.
On the other hand, parallel stripes in inclusion are layer-dislocation lines or crystal boundaries, which orientate [001], they are formed from cleavage along (110) face
due to thermal stress.

Key words: rutile TiO2 single crystal, inclusion, SEM, XRD
