Abstract

Second half of the XX century was marked by a rapid development of sapphire shaped crystal growth technologies, driven by the demands for fast, low-cost, and technologically reliable methods of producing sapphire crystals of complex shape. Numerous techniques of shaped crystal growth from a melt have been proposed relying on the Stepanov concept of crystal shaping. In this review, we briefly describe the development of growth techniques, with a strong emphasize on those that yield sapphire crystals featuring high volumetric and surface quality. A favorable combination of physical properties of sapphire (superior hardness and tensile strength, impressive thermal conductivity and chemical inertness, high melting point and thermal shock resistance, transparency to electromagnetic waves in a wide spectral range) with advantages of shaped crystal growth techniques (primarily, an ability to produce sapphire crystals with a complex geometry of cross-section, along with high volumetric and surface quality) allows fabricating various instruments for waveguiding, sensing, and exposure technologies. We discuss recent developments of high-tech instruments, which are based on sapphire shaped crystals and vigorously employed in biomedical and material sciences, optics and photonics, nuclear physics and plasma sciences.

用于波导，传感和曝光应用的蓝宝石形晶体

20世纪下半叶，由于需要快速、低成本和技术可靠的方法来生产复杂形状的蓝宝石晶体，蓝宝石形状晶体的生长技术得到了快速发展。根据斯捷潘诺夫晶体成形的概念，已经提出了许多从熔体中生长异形晶体的技术。在这篇综述中，我们简要地描述了生长技术的发展，重点介绍了那些生产具有高体积和表面质量的蓝宝石晶体的技术。蓝宝石的物理特性(优异的硬度和抗拉强度，令人印象深刻的导热性和化学惰性，高熔点和抗热震性，在宽光谱范围内对电磁波透明)与形状晶体生长技术的优势(主要是能够生产具有复杂几何截面的蓝宝石晶体)的良好组合。随着高体积和表面质量)允许制造各种仪器的波导，传感和曝光技术。我们讨论了基于蓝宝石晶体的高科技仪器的最新发展，这些仪器在生物医学和材料科学、光学和光子学、核物理学和等离子体科学中得到了广泛的应用。

期刊介绍： Materials especially crystalline materials provide the foundation of our modern technologically driven world. The domination of materials is achieved through detailed scientific research. Advances in the techniques of growing and assessing ever more perfect crystals of a wide range of materials lie at the roots of much of today''s advanced technology. The evolution and development of crystalline materials involves research by dedicated scientists in academia as well as industry involving a broad field of disciplines including biology, chemistry, physics, material sciences and engineering. Crucially important applications in information technology, photonics, energy storage and harvesting, environmental protection, medicine and food production require a deep understanding of and control of crystal growth. This can involve suitable growth methods and material characterization from the bulk down to the nano-scale.
