Some Equilibria Aspects of KDP Growth Solutions
- Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Livermore, CA (United States)
Single crystal potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP), such as that used for optical harmonic generation is typically grown from aqueous solutions. In addition to water and KDP, a variety of trace level materials are typically present in KDP growth solutions. For example metallic species, such as aluminum, are sometimes intentionally added in an attempt to control the aspect ratio of the crystal. Other metallic cations may be present as the result of leaching from materials that are used in the construction of the crystallizer, or because of impurities present in the KDP or aqueous growth media.
