Crystal growth, structure, spectral and thermal properties of ScxY1-xCOB single crystals
Yttrium calcium oxyborate (YCOB) crystals are excellent nonlinear optical crystals. To enhance the thermal properties of YCOB crystal, Sc-doped YCOB crystals, denoted as ScxY1-xCa4O(BO3)3 (x = 0.1 and 0.2) were grown using the Czochralski method along the b-direction. Various measurements, including X-ray powder diffraction, rocking curve analysis, inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), transmission spectroscopy, density measurements, and thermal property assessments, were conducted to evaluate the characteristics of the ScxY1-xCOB crystals. The results indicated that ScxY1-xCOB crystals have an isostructural arrangement like YCOB, with segregation coefficients of approximately 0.2. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) values of the rocking curves of the ScxY1-xCOB (x = 0.1 and 0.2) crystals are 33.9″ and 29.3″, respectively. Furthermore, the specific heat, thermal diffusion coefficients and thermal conductivity of the ScxY1-xCOB crystals were examined in the temperature range of 298–573 K, which were found to be higher than those of pure YCOB. These high-quality ScxY1-xCOB crystals are expected to serve as suitable nonlinear optical crystals media for optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA) applications.
期刊介绍:
The journal offers a common reference and publication source for workers engaged in research on the experimental and theoretical aspects of crystal growth and its applications, e.g. in devices. Experimental and theoretical contributions are published in the following fields: theory of nucleation and growth, molecular kinetics and transport phenomena, crystallization in viscous media such as polymers and glasses; crystal growth of metals, minerals, semiconductors, superconductors, magnetics, inorganic, organic and biological substances in bulk or as thin films; molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition, growth of III-V and II-VI and other semiconductors; characterization of single crystals by physical and chemical methods; apparatus, instrumentation and techniques for crystal growth, and purification methods; multilayer heterostructures and their characterisation with an emphasis on crystal growth and epitaxial aspects of electronic materials. A special feature of the journal is the periodic inclusion of proceedings of symposia and conferences on relevant aspects of crystal growth.
