This invention discloses a method for large-size
ammonium fluoroborate
single crystal vapor phase growth, comprising the following steps: weighing two or more compounds containing NH4, B, O, and F as raw materials in a stoichiometric ratio of 1:4:6:1, mixing them thoroughly, adding a
transport agent to obtain an initial mixture, and loading the initial mixture into a
crystallization vessel; during the
crystal growth stage, seed crystals or suspended seed crystals are selected by geometric selection and temperature screening among the grains; the
crystallization vessel is dynamically heated within the
temperature gradient zone of a
vertical tube furnace, the dynamic heating being achieved by independently raising or lowering the temperatures of the high-temperature and low-temperature zones to dynamically control the
temperature gradient of the
crystal growth zone, so as to match it with the
temperature gradient required at each stage of the
crystal growth process; the raw materials crystallize in the
crystal growth zone under the
transport agent, resulting in large-size
ammonium fluoroborate crystals. This invention produces large-size single crystals, is simple to operate, and highly practical, representing a superior
ammonium fluoroborate
single crystal growth process.
