Our recent experiments showed that one could avoid cracking of α BBO cryst als by Sr 2+ doping.This minute amount of Sr 2+ plays the role of structure stabilizer,which inhibits structural reconstruction. In this way,Sr 2+ d op ed BBO single crystals do not subject to phase transition from 925℃ down to roo m temperature. We have mow successfully grown out α BBO single crystals 30mm in diameter by D CZ method from Sr x Ba 1- x BO 4 melt with Sr concentration 0.3 0 .5%.The ratation rate is 10 15r/min,pulling speed is 1 2mm/h.Preliminary tests revealed that its structure and physic chemical properties were almost identic al to those grown from pure melts.These Sr 2+ doped α BBO crystals are no w being widely used in optical isolators.展开更多

Polycrystalline materials used for Re∶GdYCOB single crystals growth were synthesized by multistage solid phase reaction method.Re∶GdYCOB single crystals were grown by Czochralski technique.The pulling rates are 0.5-2mm/h and the rotation rates are 10-30r/min.Usually 65-75% polycrystalline materials can be transformed into good quality single crystals under our growth conditions. The structures of some as grown Re∶GdYCOB single crystals were measured by using a four circle diffractometer.The results measured show that the space group of the crystals is C 3 s Cm.The determined lattice constants of 8 at% Nd doped Ca 4YO(BO 3) 3 single crystal are a =0.8076nm, b =1.6020nm, c =0.3527nm , β =101.23°.展开更多
