Abstract

Single crystals of yttrium iron garnet $(YIG:Y_3Fe_5O_{12})$have been grown by a modified floating zone crystal growth technique(Traveling Solvent Floating Zone, TSFZ method) using an infrared radiation convergence type heater. A series of evaluations for the resulting YIG single crystals were carried out. The grown crystals are 5~6mm in diameter and 15~35mm in length. The conditions of single crystal growth were as follows; growth rate 1mm/h, rotation rate 30rpm, gas flow rate 0.2 1/min., zone aspect ratio 1, convexity of interface 0.29, respectively.

적외선 집중가열 방식의 FZ장치를 이용하여 floation zone 결정 성장기술을 변형한 traveling solvent floating zone(TSFZ)기술로 yttrium iron garnet(YIG: Y3Fe5O12) 단결정을 성장하였다. 또한 TSFZ기술을 확립하기 위하여 단결정 성장시 미치는 여러 가지 영향을 조사하였다. 성장된 YIG결정은 직경이 5~6mm, 길이가 15~36mm이었으며, 이때 성장조건은 성장속도 1mm/h, 회전속도 30rpm, gas flow rate 0.2 1/min, zone aspect ratio 0.9~1, convexity 0.29이었다.
