Crystal growth process and morphology properties of KTN are presented in this paper. It was found that some defects, such as bubble, inclusion, crack, dislocation etc., can all appear if the crystal is grown in an improper condition. The character and formation mechanism of such defects in macro growth are discussed. We consider that the CO2, which was not released absolutely during the sintering process and dissolved in the melt, led to bubbles. The composition of the inclusion caused by high pulling and rotation rates is KTN polycrystalline. The crack and dislocation in KTN crystal mainly come from improper temperature field. Etching and high-resolution X-ray diffraction （HRXRD） experiment results indicate that the central area is the defects concentrated.展开更多

The phase purity, surface morphology,element distribution and luminescent properties of the SLTO:xSm^(3+)(x= 0.01 mol%-0.30 mol%) phosphors were investigated. Under 408 nm excitation, the optimum doped SLTO:0.10Sm^(3+) phosphor emits orangered light at 598 nm with the highest emission peak(4G_(5/2)→6H_(7/2)). The critical energy transfer distance is 1.687 nm. The prepared SLTO:0.10Sm^(3+)phosphor has excellent thermal stability with temperature quenching temperature(T_(0.5)> 500 K) and high activation energy(E_(a)= 0.25 e V). Through calculation, the chromaticity coordinates of all samples are concentrated in the orange-red area, and the color purity reaches 99%. The fabricated white light-emitting diode(w-LED) has a good correlated color temperature(5132 K), a high R_(a)(89), and the CIE chromaticity coordinates(0.340, 0.327). Consequently, the superiority of orange-red-emitting tantalate SLTO:Sm^(3+) phosphors for w-LEDs is demonstrated.展开更多

文摘Potassium tantalate niobate （KTa1-xNbxO3, KTN） crystals with different dimensions and quality situations were grown by Czochralski method. Crystal growth process and morphology properties of KTN are presented in this paper. It was found that some defects, such as bubble, inclusion, crack, dislocation etc., can all appear if the crystal is grown in an improper condition. The character and formation mechanism of such defects in macro growth are discussed. We consider that the CO2, which was not released absolutely during the sintering process and dissolved in the melt, led to bubbles. The composition of the inclusion caused by high pulling and rotation rates is KTN polycrystalline. The crack and dislocation in KTN crystal mainly come from improper temperature field.
