Pr-9.33(SiO4)(6)O-2　crystals　have　been　grown　by　the　Cz-method　for　the　first　time　for　near　UV-visible　Faraday　rotation　applications.　Rietveld　refinement　of　XRD　data　demonstrates　that　the　compound　crystallizes　in　the　oxyapatite　structure　with　space　group　P6(3)/m,　with　oxyapatite　structure.　In　contrast　to　Tb3Ga5O12,　Pr-9.33(SiO4)(6)O-2　crystal　shows　a　higher　transparency　in　the　UV-visible　wavelength　region,　and　a　shorter　cutoff　at　270　nm.　The　Faraday　rotation　performance　and　the　temperature-dependence　of　the　field-cooled　(FC)　and　zero-field-cooled　(ZFC)　magnetic　susceptibility　have　been　investigated,　which　indicate　that　the　Pr-9.33(SiO4)(6)O-2　crystal　exhibits　paramagnetic　behavior　in　the　experimental　temperature　range　from　2　to　300　K　and　yields　a　larger　FR　angle　which　rapidly　increases　towards　the　cutoff.　Pr-9.33(SiO4)(6)O-2　crystal　is　therefore　a　promising　magneto-optical　crystal　in　particular　for　potential　FR　applications　in　the　near　UV-visible　spectral　region.
