contents The structural properties of a $β$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ single crystal grown by the oxide crystal growth from cold crucible (OCCC) method were investigated using synchrotron radiation X-ray topography and X-ray reticulography. The region grown beneath the seed exhibits high crystalline quality with a rocking curve full width at half maximum of about 26 arcsec. During diameter enlargement, a twist-type lattice misorientation develops between the central and laterally expanded regions, originating near the shoulder and propagating along boundaries parallel to the $\langle010\rangle$ growth direction. Dislocation analysis reveals that $\langle010\rangle$-oriented screw dislocations dominate the defect structure with densities of ~$10^{5}$cm$^{-2}$, while higher densities (~$10^{6}$cm$^{-2}$) appear in the wing region. These results clarify defect formation in OCCC-grown $β$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ and provide insights for optimizing growth conditions.
