Problems solved by technology

Although the flux method can reduce the growth temperature and change the crystallization characteristics of the crystal, the crystal size grown by the traditional flux method is relatively small, the integrity is not high, and the yield is low
The quality of crystals grown by hydrothermal method is not high, and solvent ions are easy to enter the crystal and become impurity ions, affecting the optical properties of the crystal

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for growing a rare-earth ferrite magneto-optical material RFeO3 crystal (R is Y, Gd, Tm, Nd, Sm, Eu, Ho, Yb and other rare-earth elements), which belongs to the field of monocrystalline growth. The method comprises the following steps: evenly mixing an initial firing material formed by R2O3 and Fe2O3 with a composite fluxing agent of PbO, PbF2 and B2O3; placing the mixture in a platinum crucible to be sealed by air; placing the crucible in a reducing furnace to heat and melt the raw materials; and realizing growth of the rare-earth magneto-optical crystal of different chemical compositions by controlling the temperature of the furnace, regulating air flow amount or water flow amount of the bottom of the crucible, and optimizing the gradient of solid-liquid interface temperature, the growth speed and other parameters. The method reduces the growth temperature of the crystal trough the fluxing agent, and causes local supercooling and quick nucleating by introducing air or water to the bottom of the crucible, thereby growing the RFeO3 monocrystal with large dimension. Meanwhile, the method has simple equipment, one furnace more products and low cost, and is favorable for realizing batch production of the crystal and the like.
