Sr2+对GdVO4晶体生长和拉曼性能的影响

本文报道了Sr2+离子掺杂对GdVO4晶体生长和拉曼性能的影响.SrxGd1-xVO4晶体粉末经X射线粉末衍射分析,其结果仍属四方晶系,具有锆英石结构.实验表明,高掺杂浓度时,Sr2+离子不易取代Gd3+离子进入GdVO4晶体的晶格,易导致SrxGd1-xVO4晶体开裂和产生包裹体.XPS实验证明,SrxGd1-xVO4晶体中钒元素为+5价.同时测试了常温下SrxGd1-xVO4晶体的拉曼光谱,发现随着Sr2+离子浓度增加,在884cm-1处的VO4反对称伸缩振动逐渐增强,表明Sr2+离子的掺入影响了GdVO4晶体的拉曼性能.

Growth and Structure of Doped KLN Crystal

KLN, Fe:KLN, Mn:KLN and Cu:KLN crystals were grown by Czochraski method. The structure of crystal was measured by X‐ray diffraction technique. The results indicated that the doped crystals kept the same structural characteristics as the pure KLN crystal, but the lattice constants of Fe:KLN and Mn:KLN crystals became smaller than that of pure KLN crystal, and that values of Cu:KLN crystal became larger than that of pure KLN crystal. This indicated that Fe and Mn cations replaced Nb cation, and Cu cation replace K cation after they entered into the lattice of KLN crystal. The result of ultraviolet‐visible absorption spectra was identified with that of X‐ray diffraction analysis.     

Czochralski Growth of Potassium Lithium Niobate Single Crystals with Low Li Content and Their Characterization

Single crystalline and crack free potassium lithium niobate (KLN) single crystals with low Li content were grown by the Czochralski method. The crystal composition can be written as K_2.60Li_1.17Nb_5.44O₁₅ (=K_2.95Li_1.33Nb_6.17O₁₇) which contain relatively fewer Li ions than ferroelectric K₃Li₂Nb₅O₁₅ crystals. All experimental results show that the deficiency of the Li ions in the KLN crystals strongly influences their physical properties. Especially, the as‐grown crystals do not indicate any signature for a ferroelectric phase transition in contrast to the ferroelectric K₃Li₂Nb₅O₁₅ crystals. However, due to ionic conduction, the temperature dependence of the dielectric constant of such KLN‐2 crystals show a broad anomaly near 300°C. In addition, the existence of proton defects can be revealed by infrared absorption spectroscopy near 3500 cm^‐1 in as‐grown crystals.     

Bridgman growth and properties of potassium lithium niobate single crystals

Transparent KLN crystals 10mm in diameter and 25 to 45mm in length have been grown by the modified vertical Bridgman technique from different melts in the range of 3035mol% K₂O, 1723mol% Li₂O and 4350mol% Nb₂O₅. The growth conditions are a growth rate of less than 0.25 mm/hr, temperature gradient in solid-liquid interface of 23 °C/mm and growth direction of <110>. As-grown KLN crystals have tetragonal tungsten bronze structure. Most of the as-grown crystals do not crack when cooling through the paraelectric/ferroelectric phase transition. 180° domain structures are observed after the KLN crystal was etched in boiling 2HNO₃:Hf. Dielectric properties and transmission spectrum of the as-grown KLN crystals are measured.     

Growth of LiNbO<Subscript>3</Subscript>:Er Crystals and concentration dependences of their properties

A series of lithium niobate (LiNbO₃) crystals of congruent and stoichiometric compositions, doped with erbium, have been grown under non-steady-state thermal conditions. A series of LiNbO₃:Zn crystals, nominally pure LiNbO₃ crystals of congruent and stoichiometric compositions, and a LiNbO₃:B crystal have also been grown. Both growth conditions and concentration dependences of physicochemical, ferroelectric, and structural characteristics of LiNbO₃:Er crystals are investigated. The growth regular domain microstructures and periodic nanostructures in LiNbO₃:Er crystals are analyzed by optical microscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). A comparative study of the optical homogeneity and photorefractive properties of LiNbO₃:Er crystals of congruent and stoichiometric compositions and the Raman spectra of LiNbO₃ crystals of different compositions is performed.

Phase Matched Wavelength Dependent on Atomic Displacement in Potassium Lithium Niobate Crystals Grown by Micro Pulling Down Method

Phase-matched wavelength in potassium lithium niobate (KLN) crystals grown by the micro pulling down (μ-PD) method dependent on the atomic displacement changed by melt composition was investigated. It has been found that the polar components of the atomic displacement of the metal atoms Nb(1) and Nb(2) increase with increasing Nb content of melt. Also, phase matched wavelength for second harmonic generation (SHG) properties was determined from ultra-violet to green region by increasing Nb content of melt.     

Laser heated pedestal growth of potassium lithium niobate for UV generation

Potassium lithium niobate (KLN) is a nonlinear optical material with a high nonlinearity. It has the potential to improve the performance and reduce the cost of blue and UV lasers. KLN crystals are not commercially viable because growth by traditional techniques is not possible. In an effort to develop commercially viable KLN, single crystals of the material were grown by the laser heated pedestal growth method (LHPG) with compositions of x=0.02, 0.06 and 0.2 following K₃Li_2?xNb_5+xO_15+2x. Noncritical phase matching at 20 °C for previously unreported compositions of x=0.02 and 0.06 was measured at 795 nm and 805 nm, respectively. Overall, the results suggest that single crystal KLN can be used for SHG into the UV region of the spectrum and can be developed into a commercially viable nonlinear optical material.     

Disorder in GeSe2 small crystals and medium-range structure in amorphous GeSe2

The Raman scattering spectra of various forms of GeSe₂, such as amorphous films, single crystals, and small crystals prepared by a gas-evaporation deposition technique, are investigated with an excitation photon energy ranging from 2.1 to 2.8 eV. In the spectra of the crystals, there are two Raman bands, originating from two types of breathing vibrations of the GeSe_4/2 tetrahedra: one is spread over the corner-sharing tetrahedra and the other is quasi-localized on the edge-sharing tetrahedra. In addition to the resonant Raman scattering related to the edge-sharing tetrahedra through the exciton transition observed with 2.71 eV excitation in the single crystals, a new resonant spectrum is found only in the small crystals with 2.54 eV excitation. With increasing disorder in the crystals, the intensity ratio between the two breathing vibration bands increases in the off-resonant excitation region. The Raman spectra in the amorphous states are ascribed to the breathing vibrations of GeSe_4/2 tetrahedra which form a medium-range structure topologically similar to that of crystalline fragments.
