Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a potassium tantalate rubidium niobate double solid solution compound and a nonlinear optical crystal and a preparation method and application thereof, belonging to the field of nonlinear optical crystal materials. Background Art

[0002] ABO3 type ferroelectric single crystals with perovskite structure, such as BaTiO3, KTaO3, KNbO3, KTa 1-x Nb x O3, etc., is a type of displacement ferroelectric crystal with spontaneous polarization, and the direction of spontaneous polarization can change with the change of external electric field. This type of crystal can exist in both paraelectric phase and ferroelectric phase depending on the temperature and composition. It has many excellent properties such as piezoelectricity, ferroelectricity, electro-optics, photorefractive and nonlinear frequency conversion, and can be used in photoelectric detection, laser modulation, optical switch, laser ranging, information storage, optical communication and other fields.

[0003] In peroxide crystals with ABO3 perovskite structure, BO6 octahedrons are usually linked in a vertex-sharing manner, and A cations fill the octahedral gaps. When the B-site cation is at the center of the regular octahedron, the material is in a paraelectric phase, generally with a cubic phase m3m point group and a Pm3m space group; when the B-site cation deviates from the center position, the distribution of electronic states in the crystal is distorted, spontaneous polarization occurs, and the crystal becomes a ferroelectric phase, which can be a tetragonal phase 4mm or orthorhombic phase mm2 and other point groups. A prominent feature of the crystal material with this structure is that its A-site cations and B-site cations can be replaced by metal elements with similar properties to form a solid solution single crystal. Since different metal ions have different chemical properties such as ionic radius and valence state, the lattice structure of ABO3 solid solution single crystal can be optimized and controlled by adjusting the types and proportions of A-site and B-site cations, thereby adjusting the crystal's dielectric, piezoelectric, ferroelectric, electro-optical and other physical properties. This makes the physical properties of this type of crystals rich in adjustability and infinite possibilities, making it a hot topic of research and discussion in the field of modern functional crystal materials.

[0004] In the past, the method of adjusting the structure of ABO3 solid solution single crystal by adjusting the ion species and composition often only adjusts the A or B position. For example, the Li x K 1-x TaO3, KTa for B-site adjustment 1-x Nb x O3, etc., have not adjusted the A-site and B-site ions at the same time, and so far, there has been no report on potassium rubidium tantalate niobate compounds and potassium rubidium tantalate niobate nonlinear optical crystals. Summary of the invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to simultaneously perform infinite solid solution on A-site and B-site ions on the basis of the traditional Czochralski method for preparing oxide crystals, and successfully synthesize a novel double solid solution compound of rubidium potassium tantalum niobate and a nonlinear optical crystal.

[0006] On the one hand, the present invention provides a double solid solution compound of rubidium potassium tantalum niobate. The chemical formula of this compound is Rb 1-x K x Ta 1- y Nb y O3 (hereinafter referred to as: RKTN; 0 ≤ x < 1, 0 < y < 1). At the same time, a bulk nonlinear optical single crystal of rubidium potassium tantalum niobate is provided, which has a perovskite structure of the ABO3 type. Among them, Rb and K elements occupy the A-site in the lattice and can be substituted for each other in any proportion, with a total stoichiometric ratio of 1; Ta element and Nb element occupy the B-site in the lattice and can also be substituted for each other in any proportion, with a total stoichiometric ratio of 1. This crystal will successively undergo multiple phase transitions from cubic to tetragonal to orthorhombic to trigonal from high temperature to low temperature, and the corresponding crystal point groups are m3m, 4mm, mm2, and 3m respectively.

[0007] On the second hand, a preparation method of the above-mentioned rubidium potassium tantalum niobate nonlinear optical crystal is provided. First, potassium carbonate, rubidium carbonate, tantalum oxide, and niobium oxide are synthesized by solid-phase reaction in air, and then a bulk single crystal is pulled out by the top-seeded Czochralski method in a Czochralski furnace. The XRD patterns and temperature-dependent dielectric permittivity spectra of the rubidium potassium tantalum niobate compound and the rubidium potassium tantalum niobate single crystal powder are in agreement with the theoretical values.

[0008] Specifically, the preparation steps of the double solid solution compound of rubidium potassium tantalum niobate and the rubidium potassium tantalum niobate nonlinear optical crystal are as follows:

[0009] (1) Using carbonates Rb2CO3, K2CO3 and oxides Nb2O5, Ta2O5 as raw materials, selecting an appropriate mixing ratio according to the required crystal composition, and obtaining a polycrystalline material of Rb 1-x K x Ta 1-y Nb y O3 through two sinterings;

[0010] (2) Growing crystals in a single crystal Czochralski furnace, melting the materials at 1150 - 1500 °C, growing crystals between 1200 - 1450 °C, and obtaining a crystal of Rb 1-x K x Ta 1-y Nb y O3 through the processes of seeding - necking - shoulder releasing - equal - diameter growth;

[0011] (3) After the crystal growth process is completed, cool down to room temperature at an appropriate cooling rate and take out the crystal.

[0012] This solution is further improved, and the preparation steps are as follows:

[0013] (1) Using high-purity Rb2CO3, K2CO3, Nb2O5, and Ta2O5 as raw materials, selecting ingredients according to the KT-KN solid solution phase diagram, weighing (Rb2CO3+K2CO3):(Nb2O5+Ta2O5) according to a molar ratio of (1.1-1.3):1, mixing them evenly and compacting them into blocks, pre-sintering them for the first time for 8-12 hours, taking them out and re-grinding them into powder, re-compacting them and pre-sintering them for a second time for 10-15 hours to obtain RKTN polycrystalline material;

[0014] (2) Crystal growth is carried out in a single crystal pulling furnace. The heating body is a platinum crucible, and the growth atmosphere is an atmospheric atmosphere. The blocky polycrystalline material is placed in the crucible, and after loading the furnace, the temperature is raised to 1150-1500°C to melt the raw material. After overheating for two hours, the seed crystal is placed in the crucible, and the RKTN single crystal is obtained through the process of seeding-neck shrinking-shoulder release-equal neck growth. Depending on the crystal composition, the crystal growth temperature is between 1200 and 1450°C. The pulling speed during the equal neck growth process is 0.25-0.5 mm / hour, the crystal rotation is 4-10 rpm, and the growth cycle is 5-10 days. After the crystal growth process is completed, the crystal is quickly lifted from the melt surface and kept at a constant temperature for 1-2 hours. For RKTN crystals with Curie points below room temperature (Tc≤25℃), the temperature can be cooled down to room temperature at a rate of 10-15℃ / h. For RKTN crystals with Tc>25℃, when the temperature is near the Curie point, the cooling rate needs to be adjusted to 1-2℃ / h to slowly cool to room temperature, and then the crystal can be taken out.

[0015] In the step 1, when 0≤x<0.35, the molar ratio of (Rb2CO3+K2CO3):(Nb2O5+Ta2O5) is preferably (1.1-1.15):1, the primary pre-sintering temperature is 750-825°C, and the secondary pre-sintering temperature is 850-900°C; when 0.35≤x<1, the molar ratio is preferably (1.2-1.3):1, the primary pre-sintering temperature is 850-930°C, and the secondary pre-sintering temperature is 950-975°C.

[0016] Further improvement of the present scheme, the preparation method of potassium rubidium tantalate niobate nonlinear optical crystal is as follows: weigh high-purity carbonate Rb2CO3, K2CO3 and high-purity metal oxide Ta2O5, Nb2O5 raw materials according to the molar ratio of Rb2CO3:K2CO3:Ta2O5:Nb2O5=0.3:0.9:0.3:0.7, mix them, press them into blocks under a pressure of 30-50Mpa, put them into a platinum crucible, sinter them at 850°C for 8 hours, grind the polycrystalline material into powder again, mix them evenly, press them into blocks, repeat the previous sintering process, pre-sinter them at 975°C for 10 hours, and obtain RKTN polycrystalline material;

[0017] The RKTN polycrystalline material was placed in a platinum crucible and the crystal growth process was carried out in the atmosphere. When the temperature was raised to 1180°C, all the raw materials melted, and the temperature was continued to rise to about 1250 degrees, and the temperature was kept constant for 2 hours, and then the temperature was lowered to 1175 degrees, and the seed crystal was put in. After the necking, shouldering, and equal diameter growth process, a rectangular block crystal was obtained. During the crystal growth process, the crystal rotation was maintained at 5 rpm, the pulling speed was 0.3-0.5 mm / h, and the temperature of the equal diameter growth process was controlled between 1270-1280°C. After the crystal growth was completed, the crystal was taken out, kept rotating at 5 rpm, and cooled to room temperature at 15°C / h to obtain Rb 0.1 K 0.9 Ta 0.6 Nb 0.4 In addition, the present invention also provides the application of the above-mentioned double solid solution compound potassium rubidium tantalate niobate in the secondary electro-optical effect of a single crystal.

[0018] Further optimizing the sintering parameters according to the raw material components and controlling the grain growth can improve the performance of the material and increase its density and strength.

[0019] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0020] (1) The present invention uses a solid phase reaction method to synthesize a RKTN double solid solution compound for the first time, and uses a top seed crystal pulling method to grow a block RKTN single crystal for the first time. The crystal is a cubic column with an exposed crystal face of the

[100] face family, which brings convenience to the design and processing of the crystal. According to the characteristics of KTN crystals and the requirements of electro-optical crystal elements, we define the crystal growth direction as the z direction, and obtain processed samples with orientations of X squares, Z squares, (xyt)θ cut θ=15°, 30°, 45°, (xzt)θ cut (xyt)θ=15°, 30°, 45°, and x, b, z three-axis dimensions of 0 to 5 cm. At the same time, the invention achieves the simultaneous adjustment of the A and B positions by adjusting the ion species and components to adjust the ABO3 type solid solution single crystal structure, providing a reference for the modification of other materials.

[0021] (2) The RKTN crystal prepared by the present invention can exist in either a paraelectric phase or a ferroelectric phase according to the ratio of the four elements Rb:K:Ta:Nb in the components and the ambient temperature. Most of the RKTN crystals will undergo multiple phase transitions from high temperature to low temperature, from cubic to tetragonal to orthorhombic to trigonal, and the corresponding crystal point groups are m3m-4mm-mm2-3m. The multiple phase transitions of crystals from high temperature to low temperature provide rich possibilities for the performance optimization and multifunctional application of materials. By in-depth research and utilization of these phase transition characteristics, more efficient and intelligent material design and application may be achieved not only in the optoelectronic field, but also in electronics, thermal management, medical and other fields in the future.

[0022] (3) The potassium rubidium tantalate niobate nonlinear optical crystal of the present invention has a large relative dielectric constant and a secondary electro-optic coefficient. The secondary electro-optic coefficient can reach 1.12×10 -14 m 2 / V 2 , which can greatly expand the application of secondary electro-optical effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
