3Deng.The main drawback of these fusing assistants: the molybdate fusing assistant causes molybdenum to enter in the lattice easily, had a strong impact on crystal mass, there is saturation point temperature height in other several fusing assistants, and volatilization is big, shortcomings such as viscosity height are difficult to grow the big high YAB crystal of quality of size.Also have with Al at present
2O
3-LiF is cosolvent system, but LiF is lighter, and has the big shortcoming of volatilization, so should not adopt.So be necessary to seek the YAB crystal of new suitable fusing assistant to grow good.
Summary of the invention
In order to overcome above-mentioned defective, the invention provides a kind of YAB crystal growth fusing assistant and YAB growing method, to improve crystal growth system stability, obtain than the big scale monocrystalline.
YAB crystal growth fusing assistant of the present invention is Al
2O
3-boride-lithiumation thing-metal fluoride mixed system;
Wherein, Al

2, SrF
2, BaF
2, among NaF, the KF one or more.
The present invention also provides a kind of YAB growing method of described fusing assistant, and it comprises the steps:
(1) according to Y
2O
3: fusing assistant is after 1: 1 molar ratio mixes, and is warming up to 1200~1300 ℃ of fusions, obtains the material of growing;
(2) treat the complete fusion of grower material, be cooled to 950~1050 ℃, attempt seed crystal with YAB and find YAB crystal growth temperature of saturation;
(3) be cooled to the growth temperature of saturation, put into the YAB seed crystal and grow, growth is lowered the temperature with the speed rotating crystal of 20~40rpm and with 0.1~2.0 ℃/day simultaneously;
(4) treat that crystal growth breaks away from the growth material to required yardstick, be down to room temperature with 20~80 ℃/h speed, get the YAB crystal.
Wherein, in described step (1), be that container takes up molten mass with the platinum crucible.
In addition, in step (3), the seed crystal direction of putting into is any direction.
In addition, crystal rotates to be unidirectional rotation or two-way rotation in the described step (3).
In addition, attempt seed crystal with YAB and find YAB crystal growth temperature of saturation, refer to the YAB seed crystal is put into cosolvent system, find YAB crystal growth temperature numerical value accurately, i.e. YAB crystal growth temperature of saturation.Different seed crystals is in the solubility promoter of different proportionings, its growth temperature of saturation difference, when being higher than the growth temperature of saturation when putting into seed crystal, the seed crystal melt-off can not normal growth, and when being lower than the growth temperature of saturation and putting into seed crystal, then the crystal ramp becomes polycrystalline, the result who can not get wanting, therefore, the present invention finds accurately with the trial seed crystal and puts into formal YAB seed crystal again behind the YAB crystal growth temperature, makes its growth.
In addition, described YAB seed crystal does not have particular determination, namely can select the commercially available prod for use, can be synthetic in the laboratory high temperature solid-state by following formula I yet.

In addition, seed crystal adds the mode of growth material does not have particular determination, and it is medium for example can to add material by seed rod, and the mode that seed crystal is fixed on the seed rod can be selected arbitrarily.
In addition, described crystal rotation can be unidirectional rotation or two-way rotation, two-way rotation can be the two-way rotation according to the rotation of following swing circle: accelerating successively on first direction rotate, at the uniform velocity rotates, slows down rotates and stops the rotation, afterwards, on the second direction opposite with first direction, accelerate successively again rotate, at the uniform velocity rotate, slow down and rotate and stop the rotation.In above-mentioned two-way choice, swing circle does not have particular determination, preferred 1~10 minute of the rotational time of each direction, two-way rotation preferred 0.5~1 minute at interval.
Beneficial effect of the present invention
The solubility promoter growth method of YAB crystal provided by the invention has been used Al
2O
3The cosolvent system of-boride-lithiumation thing-metal fluoride.Compared with prior art, the advantage of this method is:
1) effectively reduce the growth temperature of saturation of crystal, its temperature range is between 950~1050 ℃.
2) can greatly reduce the volatility of system, improve the stability of system in the crystal growing process, prevent that stray crystal from forming, and improved the speed of growth of crystal.
3) can obviously reduce the viscosity of solution, lower viscosity is conducive to the solute transmission, is easy to the growth of crystal and has improved the growth quality of crystal.
4) the bigger high-quality YAB monocrystalline of a series of sizes of can stably growing.If use the large size crucible, the proper extension growth cycle can also obtain corresponding larger sized single crystal.
