Abstract
Fluoride crystals with extremely wide band gaps are ideal optical materials in the UV wavelength range. Large 4-inch diameter calcium strontium fluoride (Ca0.582Sr0.418F2) single crystal was grown using the Czochralski method with a Cone-shape Die (CD-CZ). The refractive index and relative transmittance of the crystal was evaluated by cutting it into a triangular prism and polished. The direct measurement of the refractive index and relative transmittance was done by using a spectrograph to image the refraction of light as it passes through a dual prism set-up consisting of a SQ prism as reference and either CaF2 or Ca0.582Sr0.418F2 as the material under evaluation. Characterization results showed that Ca0.582Sr0.418F2 has excellent refractive index dispersion and transmittance in the UV region, confirming the applicability of the dual prism with spectrograph setup to measurements of the refractive index and relative transmittance in the UV region.
期刊介绍:
The journal offers a common reference and publication source for workers engaged in research on the experimental and theoretical aspects of crystal growth and its applications, e.g. in devices. Experimental and theoretical contributions are published in the following fields: theory of nucleation and growth, molecular kinetics and transport phenomena, crystallization in viscous media such as polymers and glasses; crystal growth of metals, minerals, semiconductors, superconductors, magnetics, inorganic, organic and biological substances in bulk or as thin films; molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition, growth of III-V and II-VI and other semiconductors; characterization of single crystals by physical and chemical methods; apparatus, instrumentation and techniques for crystal growth, and purification methods; multilayer heterostructures and their characterisation with an emphasis on crystal growth and epitaxial aspects of electronic materials. A special feature of the journal is the periodic inclusion of proceedings of symposia and conferences on relevant aspects of crystal growth.
