Abstract

The macro defects of $LiNbO_3$ crystals grown by the Czochralski method were strongly influenced by the single crystal growth parameters such as growth rate, thermal gradient and crystal rotation rate. The optimum growth conditions of a $LiNbO_3$ single crystal with 1" in diameter were $70~100^{circ}C/cm$ temperature gradient, 5~10 mm/hr growth rate and 40 rpm crystal rotation rate. In these conditions, we could grow crystals which had no cellular structure with easy diameter control, and any crack was not formed after the crystal was cooled.oled.

용응인상법에 의해 융성시킨 $LiNbO_3$ 단결정의 거시적 결함은 단결정 육성인자인 성장속도, 온도구배 및 결정회전속도에 강하게 영향을 받았다. Cell 구조가 형성되지 않고 결정의 직경제어가 용이하며 결정성장 후 냉각시 에도 crack이 발생되지 않는 1" 직경의 $LiNbO_3$ 단결정의 성장조건은 온도기울기 $70~100^{circ}C/cm$, 성장속도 5~10 mm/hr, 결정회전속도 40 rpm 이었다. 이었다.
