The stabilities at high temperature and life-spans of boron nitride (BN) crucible,tantalum (Ta) crucible and tungsten (W) crucible were compared. Tantalum crucible behaved worse at high temperature and life-span was shortened as compared with the other two crucible materials. It was very crisp and easy to crack. In contrast,self-seeded AlN crystals with different morphologies could be obtained at different high temperatures using BN crucible. The boron nitride crucible was stable below 2200 ℃,above which it would decompose. Thus it was unsuitable for the bulky AlN crystal growth. Tungsten crucible could endure the temperatures higher than 2200℃. Unfortunately we could only get AlN polycrystallines using tungsten crucible. After 50～100 hours’ run,the crucible was destroyed completely due to the multiple deep cracks. XRD results of destroyed tungsten crucible indicated that the main phases are tungsten carbide and tungsten nitride.展开更多

In this review, defects in β-Ga_2O_3 single crystals were summarized, including dislocations, voids, twin, and small defects. Their effects on device performance were discussed. Dislocations and their surrounding regions can act as paths for the leakage current of SBD in single crystals. However, not all voids lead to leakage current. There's no strong evidence yet to show small defects affect the electrical properties. Doping impurity was definitely irrelated to the leakage current. Finally, the formation mechanism of the defects was analyzed. Most small defects were induced by mechanical damages. The screw dislocation originated from a subgrain boundary. The edge dislocation lying on a plane slightly tilted towards the(102) plane, the(101) being the possible slip plane. The voids defects like hollow nanopipes, PNPs, NSGs and line-shaped grooves may be caused by the condensation of excess oxygen vacancies, penetration of tiny bubbles or local meltback. The nucleation of twin lamellae occurred at the initial stage of "shoulder part" during the crystal growth. These results are helpful in controlling the occurrence of crystal defects and improving the device performance.展开更多

文摘Single crystal Er:LuAl_3(BO_3)(Er:Lu AB) is successfully grown using the top-seeded solution growth method with a K_2Mo_3O_(10) flux. The cell parameters of the grown crystal are estimated by an x-ray single crystal diffactometor and x-ray powder diffraction analysis. The result indicates that it still belongs to the space group R32. The obtained unit-cell parameters are a= 9.2793(19) ?, c= 7.210(3) ?, V= 537.65(27) ?~3, and Z=3.The absorption spectrum is measured at room temperature. The spectroscopy properties are investigated based on the Judd–Ofelt(J-O) theory, and the effective J-O parameters were calculated to be Ω_2=8.33×10^(-20),Ω_4=3.83×10^(-20), and Ω_6 =3.55×10^(-20). The emission spectra of Er:LuAB crystal at room temperature are also studied and the ~4I_(11/2)→~4I_(13/2) fluorescence around 3170 nm is observed. The emission cross section calculated by the F-L formula is 8.6×10^(-20) cm^2. These results suggest that the Er:LuAB crystal may be a promising ~3 μm laser material.

文摘The title compound E-4,4?-bis(N,N-di-n-butylamino)stilbene (abbreviated to BDBAS) was synthesized by a simple and effective solvent-free wittig reaction with a higher yield. Its crystal structure was determined by a four-circle diffractometer. The crystal data: C30H46N2, Mr = 434.69, monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 9.7805(13), b = 14.3249(16), c = 10.0243(16) ?, α = 90.00, β = 98.639(11), γ = 90.00°, V = 1388.5(3) ?3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.040 g/cm3, F(000) = 480, μ(MoKa) = 0.059 mm-1, the final R = 0.0778 and wR = 0.2064. The results reveal that the molecule is a completely reverse π-conjugate system.

文摘The frequency responses of a langasite crystal microbalance (LCM) in liquid phase were investigated. It was shown that the LCM possessed much stronger oscillating ability in liquid phase than that of the commonly used quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). The frequency shifts of the LCM to the changes in mass loading, as well as viscosity and density of the liquid were measured. The LCM was applied to monitor the adsorption process of an ionic liquid film to ethanol vapor.
