Growth Of High-Quality Single Crystals Of Kyf4 By Tssg Method

Abstract

We report for the first time the growth of large size high quality single crystals of KYF4 (KYF) by TSSG method using the conventional weight-feed-back automatic diameter control Czochralski puller. We have made major revision of the KF-YF3 phase diagram and showed that KYF melts peritectically. The crystals can accommodate large size variations of the dopants. We were able to dope it with a large number of rare earth elements. The crystal has long fluorescence lifetime and weak phonon energy making it ideal as upconversion laser host.
