Description
The technical field is as follows:
the invention relates to gallium phosphate (GaPO)4) A method for growing crystals.
(II) background technology:
the piezoelectric crystal has stable electromechanical performance and small transmission loss, and is an important functional material. The piezoelectric resonator, piezoelectric transducer and piezoelectric sensor prepared by the method are used for communication, electroacoustic, underwater acoustic, ultrasonic,The application in the fields of aviation, medical treatment and the like is wide. There are three major types of piezoelectric crystal materials that have been widely used and form the industry in the information industry: quartz (SiO)2) Lithium niobate (LiNbO)3) And lithium tantalate (LiTaO)3)。
The quartz crystal has very good temperature stability and zero temperature coefficient tangent (ST-cut type), and is insoluble in other acid and alkali solutions except hydrofluoric acid. The quartz crystal is used in the field of piezoelectric materials for high-temperature surface acoustic wave and bulk wave devices. From the stability point of view, there is no material which is comparable to quartz crystals. But the electromechanical coupling coefficient of quartz crystal is small (K)20.001), the surface acoustic wave device and the bulk wave device made of the material have the defects of small bandwidth and large difference loss.
The lithium niobate and lithium tantalate crystals have similar structures and performances, are insoluble in water and have stable chemical properties. The coupling factor of lithium niobate is very large (K)20.055) but has a large temperature coefficient and does nothave a zero temperature coefficient cut. The temperature stability of lithium tantalate is better than that of lithium niobate crystal, but zero temperature coefficient cut does not exist, and the electromechanical coupling factor is less than one fourth of that of lithium niobate.
In order to meet the needs of the information industry which is rapidly developing at present, a novel piezoelectric material becomes a hotspot of the research in the field of materials at present.
Gallium phosphate (GaPO)4) The crystal structure of the quartz crystal is similar to α -quartz and is a quartz-like crystal, compared with quartz, gallium phosphate has better characteristic, no phase change of α - β quartz exists, the good characteristic can be kept stable, the thermal stability, the piezoelectric coefficient and the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the quartz crystal are much higher than those of the quartz crystal, and the quartz crystal has the advantages of the quartz crystal, such as no first-order thermoelectricity, temperature compensation cut type required by a piezoelectric oscillator and a filter, high resistivity and the like.
At present, a hydrothermal method is always adopted to grow GaPO4And (4) crystals. Generally, phosphoric acid (H) is used3PO4) As medium solution, and phosphoric acid (H) as culture medium3PO4) And gallium (Ga). Putting the raw materials into a high-pressure kettle, charging into a furnace, heating to melt the materials for crystal growth, wherein the heating speed is 1-3.5 ℃/day generally, and the heating interval is 180-230 ℃ to 230 ℃. Although the hydrothermal method can stably grow a single crystal, GaPO has been used in recent years4The hydrothermal growth of the crystal does not make a great breakthrough.
Growth of GaPO by hydrothermal method4The main defect of the crystal is due to the existence of water and OH in the crystal-The groups are difficult to remove, and the ordered/disordered polarizability of the medium function at the low frequency of the crystal is reduced. GaPO4The dielectric constant of the crystal is substantially determined by OH in the crystal-The content of (a). The measurement of the temperature range between-160 ℃ and 200 ℃ shows thatT 11There is a strong dependence on temperature, which decreases with increasing frequency. Meanwhile, the hydrothermal growth method requires high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, the consumption of noble metal linings is large, the requirement on equipment is high, and the method is not favorable for large-scale production. Due to the limitations of the hydrothermal method, which is a growth method, it is difficult to minimize the water content in the crystal.
(III) the invention content:
aiming at the defects of the prior art, the invention provides a fluxing agent growth method of gallium phosphate crystal, which can effectively eliminate the water content in the crystal. The method can also avoid expensive hydrothermal device and high pressure container; the consumption and consumption of noble metal are reduced.
The solution adopted by the invention is as follows:
the method for growing the gallium phosphate crystal by using the fluxing agent takes lithium carbonate and molybdenum oxide as the fluxing agent, takes 2N-5N gallium oxide and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate as raw materials, weighs ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, gallium oxide, lithium carbonate and molybdenum oxide according to the weight ratio of 1: 1.23: 1.12: 657, puts the raw materials into a crystal incubator after being uniformly mixed, heats the raw materials in a growth furnace to 1000-; introducing seed crystals into a growth furnace when the temperature is 10-20 ℃ higher than the saturation point of the solution, placing the seed crystals above the liquid surface for preheating, then placing the seed crystals into a mixed melt of gallium phosphate and a fluxing agent, reducing the temperature to 1-2 ℃ above the saturation point after the seed crystals start to melt, simultaneously rotating the seed crystals in a forward rotation-stop-reverse rotation circulation mode at a rotation rate of 30 revolutions per minute, and cooling after 24 hours, wherein the cooling rate is increased from 0.2-0.4 ℃/day in the initial growth stage to 1-2 ℃/day in the later stage; after the growth is finished, the crystal is extracted from the solution, cooled to 200 ℃ at the cooling rate of 30 ℃/hour, and naturally cooled to room temperature.
