Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention and lithium niobate (LiNbO 3 , referred to as LN) single crystal, relates to a method for preparing a near-stoichiometric lithium niobate single crystal, more specifically, a method for growing a near-stoichiometric lithium niobate single crystal material by a crucible descent method. Background technique
[0002] LN crystals are piezoelectric, ferroelectric and electro-optic crystals with a wide range of applications. At present, commercial crystals are obtained from LiNbO with the same composition ratio by the pulling method. 3 Although the crystal grown by this method has good optical quality and consistency, it is a typical non-stoichiometric crystal, because the [Li] / [Nb] in the crystal is about 48.6 / 51.4, severe Li deficiency, forming a large number of intrinsic defects in the crystal, which has many adverse effects on the performance of LN, limiting the application of this crystal. The near-stoichiometric LN crystal has...
