Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the methods for growing SLT crystals are mainly double-crucible continuous feeding method, vapor phase transport (VTE) method, etc. The former has high requirements for equipment, complicated process and high production cost, while the latter can only prepare samples with a thickness of less than 1mm. It is difficult to obtain large-sized near-stoichiometric lithium tantalate crystals at the centimeter scale, which limits its industrial application

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method for near-stoichiometric lithium tantalite crystal, which comprises the following steps: prepare the base material according to the molar ratio proportion of Li2CO3:Ta2O5=48-50:52-50; then add an alkali metal except Li2O as the flux; after grinding and mixing, heat to fully decompose and release CO2; calcine the mixture and get lithium tantalite polycrystalline charge; then press the polycrystalline charge, put in a crucible, heat to the fusion state, keep the temperature and then use the czochralski preparation method for the near-stoichiometric lithium tantalite crystal. The preparation method for near-stoichiometric lithium tantalite crystal has the advantages that: the process of preparing the near-stoichiometric lithium tantalite crystal is made simpler; the near-stoichiometric lithium tantalite crystal with bigger size and good uniformity is made easier to prepare; industrial mass production can be realized and the cost can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing lithium tantalate crystals, in particular to a method for preparing lithium tantalate crystals with a nearly stoichiometric ratio. Background technique [0002] Lithium tantalate (LiTaO 3 , referred to as LT) crystal is an excellent photoelectric material, which is widely used in the production of various functional devices. Currently commercially used is mainly the same composition lithium tantalate (Congruent LiTaO 3 , referred to as CLT, [Li] / [Ta]=48.75:51.25) crystal, because CLT has intrinsic defects such as lithium (Li) vacancies and tantalum (Ta) inversions, which seriously affect the performance of CLT, such as higher coercive field, relatively low resistance to photodamage threshold, etc. With the continuous increase of the Li / Ta ratio and gradually approaching the stoichiometric ratio ([Li] / [Ta]=1:1), many physical properties of lithium tantalate crystals are improved to varying degrees. For...
