  • Published : 2004.12.01

Abstract

Rutile single crystals were grown by the skull melting method. Ti metal ring was used for initial RF induction heating. The grown crystals were cut into wafer of 5.5 mm diameter and 1mm thickness. The wafers were annealed in air at $1300^{\circ}C$ up to 15 hours and their transmittance spectra $(\lambda= 200~25000 nm)$ were obtained.

초기 RF유도가열을 위해 Ti 금속링을 사용하여 스컬법에 의해 루릴 단결정을 성장시켰다. 성장시킨 단결정은 ${\varnothing}55.5{\times}1.0mm$의 wafer로 가공하였으며,$1300^{\circ}C$에서 15시간까지 대기중에서 열처리 하여 $\lambda=200~25000nm$의 범위에서 투광도를 비교하였다.
