초록
KLN은 성장 결정 내의 $Nb_2O_5$함유량에 따라 물성이 크게 변화하므로 단결정의 조성제어가 매우 중요하다. 본 실험에서는 초기 KLN용액의 $Nb_2O_5$함량을 증가시켜 $Nb_2O_5$함유량이 높은 KLN단결정을 온도요동법과 TSSG법에 의해 성장시키고 성장된 KLN단결정인 $Nb_2O_5$증가량에 따른 격자결함의 유무를 관찰하고자 유전 및 광학 특성을 관찰하다. KLN 단결정 내에 격자결함의 증가에 의해 낮은 에너지로의 단락 frequency 이동과 DPT 특성을 보이는 넓은 Curie 범위가 관찰되었다.
The physical properties of KLN single crystals very significantly according to the $Nb_2O_5$ content in grown crystal, therefore, it is very important to control the composition of KLN single crystals. In this study, KLN single crystals of high content $Nb_2O_5$ were grown by temperature fluctuation and TSSG (Top-seeded solution growth) methods with increasing the $Nb_2O_5$ content of starting solution. To investigate the existence of defect due to the increase of $Nb_2O_5$ content, dielectric and optical properties were measured. Due to the increase of defects in grown KLN single crystal, the shift of cutoff-frequency to lower energy and a broad Curie range, which shows the DPT (diffuse phase transition) characteristics, were observed.
