Abstract
Description
(1) Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a hanging crucible for growing near-stoichiometric lithium niobate crystals, belonging to the technical field of crystal materials. (2) Background technology
[0002] As we all know, as an important optoelectronic functional material, lithium niobate crystals are widely used in optical transmission, video and audio devices, frequency doubled lasers and optical storage and other fields.
[0003] Lithium niobate is generally grown by the Czochralski method, and lithium niobate crystals of the same composition are grown at the same composition point in the lithium oxide-niobium oxide binary phase diagram. Because lithium niobate crystals with the same composition are non-stoichiometric compounds, [lithium] / [niobium] is about 48.6 / 51.4, severe lithium deficiency, and a large number of intrinsic defects are formed in the crystal, which has many disadvantages to the performance of lithium niobate influence, which limits the appl...
