The invention discloses a multi-element
crystal purification device and method. The purification device comprises a furnace body, wherein a
zone melting device and a purification
ampoule are arranged in the furnace body; the furnace body consists of an inner-layer
metal furnace chamber, an outer-layer heating device, an air
pressure control device and a cooling device; and the
zone melting device comprises an
ampoule support, a resistance heating ring and a transmission device. The transmission device is composed of a guide rail, a lead screw, a rack sliding block and a reversing gear. The purification
ampoule comprises a protection container, a purification container and a
crucible; and the
crucible comprises a purification
crucible and a
pressure control crucible. An outer-layer heating device is used for assisting, so that the
pipe wall temperature can be maintained, the
steam pressure in the
pipe can be maintained, and
crystal decomposition is inhibited; and a controllable pressurizing device is used for assisting, so that the internal and
external pressure difference of the purification container is reduced, the container is kept stable, and the explosion risk is reduced. The method can effectively solve the problem of component
decomposition during the purification process of the multi-element
crystal containing volatile components, ensures the stoichiometric ratio of the crystal, reduces the generation of vacancy and displacement defects in the crystal, and ensures the optical and electrical properties of the crystal.
