Description

Rare earth thio-oxide crystalline growth method
Technical field
The invention relates to rare earth thio-oxide (Re 2O 2S) and rare earth doped rare earth thio-oxide (Re ': Re 2O 2S) crystalline growth method.
Background technology
Rare earth thio-oxide (Re 2O 2S) being the Industrial materials that a class haves a great attraction, also is simultaneously very unique in scientific basic research.They are broadband semiconductors, as phosphor material, have used nearly 30 years on the various modern engineering.For example, Nd activated La 2O 2S crystal (Nd:LOS) is the laserable material of very promising low threshold value, high-luminous-efficiency, see J.Appl.Phys., 1971,42 (8): 3043-3048, under pulse and continuous two kinds of laser work modes, the pumping threshold power of Nd:LOS all is lower than Nd:YAG, if can prepare the Nd:LOS crystal that optical quality can be mentioned in the same breath with YAG, its continuous laser slope efficiency estimate will be Nd:YAG 8-12 doubly.Adulterated Gd 2O 2S is section's scintillation material, can be used for X ray video intensifying screen.Eu activated Y 2O 2S crystal (Eu:YOS) is the storage phosphor and the very high cathode-luminescence material of luminous efficiency of multiple infrared excitation, referring to J.Electrochem.Soc., and 1969,116:1047.
Because the thio-oxide fusing point is generally higher, as the LOS fusing point be 2070 ± ℃, about 2200 ℃ of YOS, in air, be heated to more than 600 ℃ with regard to oxidized formation subsulphate, generation is decomposed and the loss of sulphur and understand under the temperature of fusion in vacuum or inert atmosphere, and thermal expansivity anisotropy difference is big, //the c axle, 6 * 10 -6/ K; ⊥ c axle, 3 * 10 -6/ K), the crystal of growing from melt is the substantial deviation chemical dosage ratio often, and always there is the rimose problem inevitably in the growth of large-size crystals simultaneously.For avoiding the melt pyrolytic decomposition to produce the loss of sulphur, adopt the electrons leaves welding sealed crucible, see J.Appl.Phys., 1971,42 (8): 3049-3053, but the crystal of being grown forms polycrystalline easily, the sulphur content skewness, easily produce bubble, crystals generally contains blackstreak, and specific refractory power is seriously inhomogeneous.In addition, adopt Ar atmosphere or the Ar and the H of overvoltage 2The mixed atmosphere of S can be avoided the oxidation of oxysulfide, but can not reduce the decomposition and the S loss of melt, the crystal formation heterogeneous structure of growth, and cracking is seen Mater.Res.Bull. easily, 1973,8:1421-1426.The transparent YOS monocrystalline size that for example, can access only is 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.3mm 3, (Phys.Rev.B, 2002,65:094302; 2003,68:035107), can't carry out orientation cutting or polishing.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention is to overcome above-mentioned prior art problems, and a kind of rare earth thio-oxide crystalline growth method is provided, and this method can obtain a centimetre magnitude, high-quality rare earth thio-oxide (Re 2O 2S) and rare earth doped rare earth thio-oxide (Re ': Re 2O 2S) single crystal blank.
Technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
A kind of rare earth thio-oxide crystalline growth method is the method that adopts fusing assistant and utilize the temperature gradient furnace growing crystal, comprises seed crystal preparation, the compacting of material piece and temperature gradient method growing crystal step.
Described seed crystal preparation adopts the lanthanuma luminate single crystal body of the directed cutting of C axle to make seed crystal for the first time, adopts the crystal bar of the directed cutting of rare earth thio-oxide single crystal to make seed crystal later on.
This rare earth thio-oxide crystalline growth method comprises the following steps:
1. system is expected piece: adopt sodium sulphite Na 2S presses Na as fusing assistant 2S: Re 2O 2S=(20~40): the weight percent batching of (80~60) is pressed into the material piece after abundant ground and mixed is even;
2. seed crystal is placed in the seed slot of tungsten crucible bottom, will expects packagedly in tungsten crucible, be placed in the temperature gradient furnace after this crucible is added a cover, after the closely knit sealing of burner hearth, successively open mechanical pump and diffusion pump and be evacuated to vacuum tightness and be better than 3 * 10 -3Pa is warming up to 800~1000 ℃, is incubated burner hearth vacuum tightness and is better than 1 * 10 -2Charge into high-purity Ar behind the Pa to malleation 0~0.2Mpa;
3. press temperature gradient method technology growing single-crystal, to obtain rare earth thio-oxide Re 2O 2The S crystal.
The described the 1. system material piece adopts Na 2S presses Na as fusing assistant 2S: (Re ': Re 2O 2S)=(20~40): the weight percent batching of (80~60) is pressed into the material piece after abundant ground and mixed is even, at last to obtain rare rare earth thio-oxide Re ' that goes up element doping: Re 2O 2The S crystal.
With rare-earth sulfide Re 2S 3As fusing assistant, rare earth thio-oxide crystalline growth method is characterized in that this method comprises the following steps:
1. system is expected piece: adopt rare-earth sulfide Re 2S 3As fusing assistant, press Re 2S 3: Re 2O 2S=(25~50): the weight percent batching of (75~50) is pressed into the material piece after abundant ground and mixed is even;
2. seed crystal is placed in the seed slot of tungsten crucible bottom, will expects packagedly in tungsten crucible, be placed in the temperature gradient furnace after this crucible is added a cover, after the closely knit sealing of burner hearth, successively open mechanical pump and diffusion pump and be evacuated to vacuum tightness and be better than 3 * 10 -3Pa is warming up to 1000~1200 ℃, is incubated burner hearth vacuum tightness and is better than 1 * 10 -2Charge into high-purity Ar behind the Pa to malleation 0~0.2Mpa;
3. press temperature gradient method technology growing crystal, to obtain Re 2O 2The S crystal.
With rare-earth sulfide Re 2S 3As the rare earth doped rare earth thio-oxide Re ' of fluxing agent growth: Re 2O 2S crystalline key is the described the 1. system material piece, adopts rare-earth sulfide Re 2S 3As fusing assistant, press Re 2S 3: Re ': Re 2O 2S=(25~50): the weight percent batching of (75~50), be pressed into the material piece after abundant ground and mixed is even, last to obtain rare earth doped rare earth thio-oxide Re ': Re 2O 2The S crystal.
The temperature gradient method technology of described growing single-crystal is: keep more than 2 hours in top temperature, lower the temperature 200~400 ℃ with the speed less than 2 ℃/hour, then to reduce to room temperature less than 30 ℃/hour speed.
The vertically-guided temperature gradient furnace (TGT) of graphite resistance heating is adopted in crystal growth, and crucible material is tungsten (a W crucible), and the crucible top is auxiliary adds a cover, and suppresses the melt volatilization, thereby reduces the S loss.
Because Re 2O 2S thermal expansivity anisotropy difference is big, the C direction of principal axis growing crystal of artificial control thermal expansivity maximum, can reduce radially thermal stresses of crystal, and avoid in the process of cooling that crystal growth finishes crucible, thereby reduce the probability of crystal cleavage widely crystalline pressure.Just secondary growth adopts along the lanthanum aluminate (LaAlO of the directed cutting of C axle 3) single crystal is as the seed product.LaAlO 3Belong to hexagonal system, the similar Re of its crystalline structure 2O 2S has close with it lattice constant and fusing point.Seed crystal is positioned over the conical lower portion of W crucible, guiding growth Re 2O 2The S single crystal.Promptly adopt Re later on 2O 2Seed crystal rod growth Re after the directed cutting of S single crystal 2O 2S and Re ': Re 2O 2The S crystal.
The present invention adopts temperature gradient method (TGT) growth rare earth thio-oxide (Re 2O 2S) sharp other rare earth doped rare earth thio-oxide (Re:Re 2O 2S) single crystal blank.Carry out along C axle orientation by introducing seed crystal control crystal growth, reduced the crystal cleavage probability greatly.Simultaneously, add Na in the raw material in proportion 2S or Re 2S 3, reduced crystal growth temperature widely, avoided Re 2O 2The S pyrolytic decomposition causes the S loss, can obtain being of a size of the high quality single crystal of Ф 5~7 * 6~10cm.Can be used for distinctive physics of such material and optical property are carried out scientific research, wide application prospect is arranged in fields such as laser and flickers.
