Abstract
Congruent $LiNbO_3$ crystals with doped Mg and codoped with Mn or Fe were grown by the Czochralski method. It is known that the physical properties of $LiNbO_3$ depend strongly on the addition of Mg and transition metals. This is established by studying the following properties; XRD patterns, the phase transition temperature, energy of the fundamental absorption edge, the shape of the absorption band of the $OH^-$ vibration and lines of the ESR of $Fe^{3+},\; Mn^{2+}$. The position of the UV absorption edge and the shape and peak point of the absorption band of the $OH^-$ vibrational band changed monotonously up to a critical concentration of $Mg^{2+}$ ions. The mechanism of the incorporation of Mg ions changes at this concentration. The transition temperature was estimated by measuring the dielectric temperature behavior up to $1230^{\circ}C$ in a frequency range of 100Hz to 10MHz. EPR of $Mn^{2+}\;and\; Fe^{3+}$ ions were employed to investigated the Mg doping effects in the $LiNbO_3$ crystal. The increase of linewidths and the asymmetry of signals were observed in all crystals. New signals of $Fe^{3+}$ arising from the new centers were observed I the heavily Mg-doped crystals.
Czochralski법으로 congruent한 조성(48.6 mol% $LiNbO_2$)과 $LiNbO_3$: Mg(4.5, 6.0, 10.0, 20.0mol%), $LiNbO_3$ : Mn(0.1 mol%), $LiNbO_3$: Fe(0.05 mol%), $LiNbO_3$ : (Mg(4.5)+Mn(0.1), Fe(0.05 mol%)), LiNbO3 : (Mg(20.0)+Mn(0.1), Fe(0.05 mol%))인 융액으로부터 결정을 c-축 방향으로 성장시켰다. 이 결정들은 상온에서의 XRD pattern과 상온~$1230^{\circ}C$의 온도영역과 100Hz~10MHz의 주파수영역에서의 유전상수, 상온에서의 UV_VIS, IR 스펙트럼, 결정내의 Mn2+, Fe3+ 이온에 대한 ESR 스펙트럼 등을 측정하였는데 XRD pattern과 상전이 온도, UV 흡수단, OH- 이온에 의한 스펙트럼, ESR 스펙트럼 등의 Mg첨가량 의존성으로부터 Mg가 첨가된 $LiNbO_3$ 결정의 결함구조에 대해서 논의하였다. congruent한 $LiNbO_3$결정과 Mg를 첨가한 $LiNbO_3$ 결정에서의 Mn2+ 이온은 Mg의 첨가량에 관계없이 Li+을 치환한다. 그러나 congruent한 $LiNbO_3$ 결정과 Mg를 첨가한 $LiNbO_3$ 결정에서의 Fe3+ 이온은 Mg가 4.5 mol% 첨가된 결정에서는 Li+ 자리를 Mg가 6.0 mol% 이상 첨가된 결정에서는 {{{{ { Nb}`_{Li } ^{5+ } }}}} 자리를 치환한다.
