Abstract

In the Nd;YAG crystal growth by Czochralski method, the relationship between the core formation and the solid-liquid interface was observed by controlling the temperature gradient in the furnace. When the crystal was grown along<111> direction, defects and core area were reduced as the temperature gradient increased. The optimum temperature gradient was found to be higher than 4$0^{\circ}C$/cm. The Nd3+ concentration analysis by ICP-Mass showed that the segregation coefficient was about 20% higher in the core region than core-free region, where the segregation coefficients of core region and core-free region were 0.22 and 0.18, respectively.
