Growth of CeO2:Bi12SiO20 Crystals in the Multi-Position Furnace
|
Abstract:
Bi12SiO20 single crystals exhibit excellent photorefractive behavior. The main problem in growing doped Ce:BSO crystals on earth is low segregation coefficients that result in a poor chemical homogeneity of the crystals. In our experiments, Ce:BSO crystals were grown on earth in the multi-position furnace especially designed for growing single crystals in space. The dopant distribution and transmission spectra of Ce:BSO grown on earth were measured and compared with that of Ce:BSO crystals grown in space.
