Abstract

YIG(Yttrium Iron Garnet) single crystals were grown by FZ(Floating Zone) method. Since YIG melts incongruently, TSFZ(Traveling Solvent Floating Zone) method which was modified FZ was applied to grow YIG single crystals. The optimum growth condition were growth rate Imm/hr, counter-rotation 30rpm and oxidized atmosphere was necessary to sintering and growth process. The quality of grown crystals depended on the degree of sintering. The voids were generated by the reaction of Fe ions with oxygen and the density of voids was increased with the growth rate increased. When the growth rate was more than 1.5mm/hr, the cellular growth occured and the density of dislocation was increased at the periphery of crystals. Also, secondary phases of orthoferrite(YFe$O_3$)compost ion were observed in the grown crystal.

YIG는 분해용융을 하므로 FZ법을 개량한 TSFZ법을 적용하여 YIG단결정을 성장시켰다. 최적성장조건은 성장속도 1mm/hr, 상호역방향 회전속도 30rpm이었으며 소결 및 결정성장시 산화분위기를 필요로 하였고 성장된 결정의 질은 소결정도에 의해 많은 영향을 받았다. Melt내 기포의 생성은 철이온과 산소와의 반응에 의해 발생되었으며 기포의 밀도는 성장속도가 빨라질수록 증가하였다. 성장속도는 1mm/hr 이상일 경우에는 Cell Growth가 발생하였으며 결정의 가장자리에서 전위밀도가 증가하였다. 또한 성장된 결정에서는 제2상으로 Orthoferrite가 관찰되었다.
