Abstract

The invention discloses growth equipment for preparation of magnesium fluoride crystals with a multi-crucible descending method and a growth method. A porous graphite crucible comprises four parts including a seed crystal zone, a crystal growth zone, a bin zone and a crucible lid; the growth equipment further comprises a furnace hearth, a descending device and a copper induction heating coil, ventilating holes are formed in the upper side and the lower side of the furnace hearth, the inner wall of the furnace hearth, and the copper induction coil and a descending rod surface are plated with a nickel layer or a high-temperature-resistant organic resin layer which can resist corrosion of gases such as hydrogen fluoride and the like. The preparation method comprises steps as follows: parameter setting, furnace charging, vacuum pumping, introduction of protecting gases, waiting for complete melting of raw materials and forming of melts, starting of descending after seed crystals are melted to be thin and preparation of the magnesium fluoride crystals. The prepared magnesium fluoride crystals have excellent optical quality, and the transmittance of 190 nm wavelength can reach 93.5%; the appearance and the size of the magnesium fluoride crystals are easy to control; the magnesium fluoride crystals grow simultaneously in multiple crucibles, the growth efficiency is high, and industrial production is facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing magnesium fluoride crystals, in particular to a method and growth equipment for preparing magnesium fluoride crystals by using a porous graphite crucible descent method, and belongs to the technical field of crystal growth. Background technique [0002] Magnesium fluoride crystals (chemical formula MgF 2 ) is a common alkaline earth metal fluoride crystal. It has many excellent properties, including high thermal stability and high hardness; low chemical activity and high corrosion resistance at high temperature; small refractive index and high laser damage threshold; from vacuum ultraviolet 120nm to ordinary ultraviolet 400nm It has very excellent transmittance. These properties determine that magnesium fluoride crystal is an excellent ultraviolet optical window material, and other commonly used fluoride crystals such as LiF, GaF 2 、BaF 2 The performance used as a UV window cannot be compared with tha...
