Provided are a Ga.sub.2O.sub.3-based single crystal substrate including a Ga.sub.2O.sub.3-based single crystal which has a high resistance while preventing a lowering of crystal quality and a production method therefor. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the production method includes growing the Ga.sub.2O.sub.3-based single crystal while adding a Fe to a Ga.sub.2O.sub.3-based raw material, the Ga.sub.2O.sub.3-based single crystal (5) including the Fe at a concentration higher than that of a donor impurity mixed in the Ga.sub.2O.sub.3-based raw material, and cutting out the Ga.sub.2O.sub.3-based single crystal substrate from the Ga.sub.2O.sub.3-based single crystal (5).

A method includes depositing a layer of alloy particles including rare earth permanent magnet phase above a substrate, laser scanning the layer while cooling the substrate to melt the particles, selectively initiate crystal nucleation, and promote columnar grain growth in a same direction as an easy axis of the rare earth permanent magnet phase. The method also includes repeating the depositing and scanning to form bulk anisotropic rare earth alloy magnet with aligned columnar grains.
