Abstract
Growth of synthetic emerald [($(BeO)_3(Al_{2-x}Cr_xO_3)(SiO_2)_6$] single crystals was carried out by flux method. In this study, the starting materials were prepared by stoichiometric mixing of BeO, $Al_2O_3$ and $SiO_2$ as reaching components. The conditions for the growth of synthetic emerald single crystals are as follows : temperature range ; $1150{\sim}900^{\circ}C$, cooling rate ; 2, 4, $10^{\circ}C/hr$, flux ; $Li_2CO_3$, $V_2O_5$, dopant ; $Cr_2O_3$. The sizes of $Cr_2O_3$emerald single crystals depending on 2, 4, $10^{\circ}C/hr$ cooling rates. The obtained emerald single crystal was characterized and the following results were obtained : lattice parameter : a=0.921nm, c=0.917nm, crystal system ; hexagonal, crystal size ; max. $0.80{\times}0.95mm^2(c{\times}m)$, orientation ; (1000), $m(10{\bar{1}}0)$.
합성에메랄드[$(BeO)_3(Al_{2-x}Cr_xO_3)(SiO_2)_6$]단결정을 flux법에 의하여 육성하였다. 출발물질로 BeO, $Al_2O_3$와 $SiO_2$ 시약을 화학양론비로 혼합하여 사용하였다. 에메랄드 단결정의 성장 조건은 다음과 같다. 온도범위 ; $1150{\sim}900^{\circ}C$, 냉각속도 ; 2, 4, $10^{\circ}C/hr$, 융제 : $Li_2CO_3$, $V_2O_5$, 첨가제 ; $Cr_2O_3$. 에메랄드 단결정의 크기는 2, 4, $10^{\circ}C/hr$의 냉각속도에 의존하였다. 얻어진 에메랄드 단결정을 동정하였고, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 즉, 결정계 ; 육방정계, 격자상수 ; a=0.921nm, c=0.917nm, 결정의 크기 ; 최대 $0.80{\times}0.95mm^2(c{\times}m)$, 방위 ; c(1000), $m(10{\bar{1}}0)$.
