Abstract

The invention discloses a crucibleless growth method of sapphire crystals in different atmospheres, and belongs to the field of sapphire crystal growth. The method comprises the following steps: a polycrystalline rod is prepared by using high-purity raw materials of Al2O3, FeTiO3 and Fe2O3; the polycrystalline rod is put into a crystal growth furnace, and is sleeved by a quartz tube; oxygen gas or argon gas is led to the quartz tube, and a gas valve is closed when the pressure reaches a certain value; the temperature rises for 0.5 to 1 hour until the material rod and seed crystals are melted;a crystal growth speed is set for crystal growth; the grown crystals are cooled to reach the room temperature; and the gas valve is opened, and the gas is released to the normal atmospheric pressure.The sapphire crystals grown through the method have large sizes, evener color and better quality, and avoid macroscopic defects.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of sapphire crystal growth and relates to a method for growing sapphire crystals without a crucible under different atmospheres. technical background [0002] Crystal materials play a very important role in the development of science and technology. They are the important cornerstone of the information age and the material basis for the development of high technology. The main single crystal preparation techniques mainly include: melt growth, solution growth, vapor phase growth, and solid phase growth. As a new type of crucible-free crystal growth method, the crucible-free growth method has the advantages of no need for a crucible, less pollution, and fast growth rate. Great advantage. [0003] Sapphire is α-phase alumina, which is the oxide crystal material with the highest hardness known so far. The Mohs hardness is 9, and it can still maintain high hardness at high temperatures. It has good thermal conductivity, ...
