Hydrothermal epitaxy of KNbO3 thin films and nanostructures

Heteroepitaxial KNbO₃ thin films and nanostructures were grown hydrothermally on (1 0 0)-oriented single-crystal SrTiO₃ substrates at 125–200 °C in 15 M KOH solutions. The KNbO₃ film grew with the orthorhombic structure and displayed both {1 1 0)_o and (0 0 1)_o orientations as anisotropic lattice expansion reduced the difference in lattice mismatch seen by each orientation. After an initial period of approximately planar growth, the film gave rise to an array of nano-sized tower-like structures apparently growing by a dislocation-assisted mechanism. It is suggested that the anisotropic growth is further promoted by a combination of decreasing supersaturation and the increased effect of adsorbed impurities on the growth front.

Crystallization of KNbO3 in a B2O3 glass network

The ferroelectric material potassium niobate (KNbO₃) has a large number of exceptional electronic and optical properties with important technological applications. Due to the high preparation difficulties and costs of the single crystals, a considerable interest in the preparation of glass-ceramics with the KNbO₃ crystal phase exists. In this work we present the preparation of a glass, with the composition 40B₂O₃–40K₂O–20Nb₂O₅ (% mole), through the melt-quenching method and glass-ceramics obtained by controlled heat-treatments. The samples structure was analyzed using X-ray power diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy. KNbO₃ crystals were detected in the glass sample treated at 500 °C. For treatments at temperatures above 500 °C, other niobium-based crystal phases are present. The behavior of the heat-treatment temperature parameter, in the glass and glass ceramic structure, is discussed.     

Flux Growth of KNbO3 Crystals by Pulling-Down Method

The crystals of KNbO₃ have been grown by the micro-pulling-down method. Colorless, transparent, and crack-free crystals were produced from the melts containing excess of K₂O as a flux. Growth of relatively large size (up to 2 mm in diameter and up to 30 mm in length) single crystals was found is possible using the crucibles with corresponding nozzle size (up to 2.0 mm in outer diameter). Second harmonic generation was observed in the crystals irradiated by fundamental beam with wavelength about 860 nm.     

Preform fabrication and drawing of KNbO3 modified tellurite glass fibers

For fiberization of tellurite glasses the 70TeO₂–25ZnO–5Na₂O composition is selected based on its good thermal stability and refractive index compatibility with most of the ferroelectric oxides. A modified built-in casting method is used to fabricate preforms. The fiber drawn by the rod-in-tube technique consists of two layers of cladding glass and a core with 5 mol% ferroelectric KNbO₃. In this study we also address the low mechanical strength problem with tellurite glass fibers, by subjecting the preforms to polishing and wet chemical etching. Apart from the fabrication methods, we also report here a selective core heat-treatment and ferroelectric phase crystallization in a low dimensional system.

A study of ferroelectric domain patterns in orthorhobic KNbO3 with optical microscopy

Ferroelectiric domain patterns in natural surface layers of Czochralski as-grown crystals are very complicated. The inner domain patterns are comparatively simple and consist of a regular arrays of so-called thin lens-like 90° domains. Only few inner 60° and 120° domains crossing the 90° domain arrays are observed. The inversion or 180° domains are shape-like separated islands. The 60° microdomains are easily introduced into the surface layers during the specimen processing. There are some elastic interactions between the different kinds of ferroelectric domain walls, the orientations of which are in good coincidence with the theory proposed by Janovec.
