Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the temperature field used in the pulling method is a fixed temperature field, that is, only the temperature, pulling speed, rotation speed and other factors can be adjusted during the whole process of crystal growth, but the components of the temperature field cannot be adjusted, and the position of the temperature field cannot be changed. Therefore, the requirement of variable temperature gradient cannot be realized, which brings difficulties to the crystal growth. Therefore, it is imminent to realize the change of the temperature field during the crystal growth process. How to ensure the large change of the temperature field and ensure that the crystal growth is not disturbed is also an urgent solution. important research topics

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for growing near-stoichiometric ratio lithium niobate crystals by using a temperature field device with adjustable temperature gradient, and belongs to the technical field of crystal growth. Background technique [0002] The pulling method is one of the main methods for growing lithium niobate and lithium tantalate crystals, and in view of the high melting point characteristics of lithium niobate and lithium tantalate crystals, the melt pulling method is required for growth. This process mainly includes chemical materials, The stages of planting, necking, shouldering, equal necking, and finishing are among the key steps in the growth process. Since the chemical process needs to be heated to a temperature 5-10K higher than the melting point of the crystal, it is difficult to find a suitable planting temperature when planting; while the necking and shouldering process requires continuous heating and cooling. They are al...
