Title: Growth mechanisms of large, faceted crystals grown from solutions

Abstract

Here, the paper describes optical techniques and methods used to study growth mechanisms and phenomena occurring on multiple faces of real bulk crystals grown from aqueous and organic solutions. Using examples of ionic KDP and molecular trans-stilbene crystals, it shows how in-situ and ex-situ surface observations can be applied to identify growth structures characteristic for the dislocation, two-dimensional (2D), and 3D cluster deposition mechanisms. Results are analyzed and applied to understanding of defects origins and methods for their elimination in practical growth of large, high optical quality crystals.

Scintillation properties of solution-grown trans-stilbene single crystals

Journal Article Zaitseva, Natalia ; Glenn, Andrew ; Carman, Leslie ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

The scintillation properties of trans-stilbene crystals grown for the first time by application of the solution growth technique to the scale of 10 cm are reported. Measurements of the scintillation light output, pulse shape discrimination, and neutron detection efficiency were made with sets of crystals cut as 50 cm diameter cylinders of different lengths from 0.3 to 10 cm. Comparison to liquid scintillators and traditional melt-grown stilbene showed that at increasing sizes new solution-grown crystals exhibit better scintillation performance that makes them promising for use in large scale neutron detectors. Results are discussed in relation to structural imperfections attributed tomore » different methods of growth.« less

X-ray topographic study of growth defects of trans-stilbene crystals grown from solutions

Journal Article Klapper, Helmut ; Zaitseva, Natalia ; Carman, Leslie - Journal of Crystal Growth

Single crystals of trans-stilbene, C₁₄H₁₂, with properties suitable for high-energy neutron detection were grown from solution in anisole and toluene by the temperature reduction method with growth rates up to 6 mm/day. From these crystals, slices of appropriate orientation and thickness of 2–4 mm were cut and studied by X-ray diffraction topography applying the Lang method using CuKα radiation. The topographs exhibit growth defects such as liquid inclusions, dislocations, striations, and faulty growth-sector boundaries. These defects occur in the same typical arrangements and geometries as is observed in all kinds of crystals grown on habit faces from solution. Besides growthmore »« less

Solution growth of a deuterated trans-stilbene crystal for fast neutron detection

Journal Article Carman, M. L. ; Glenn, A. M. ; Mabe, A. N. ; ... - Journal of Crystal Growth

The paper reports results on growth and characterization of the first deuterated analog of the trans-stilbene crystal. The high optical quality stilbene-d12 single crystal was grown by application of the solution technique using specially synthesized raw material and an aromatic solvent (anisole). Optical, physical, and scintillation properties of the new material are compared to those of the regular trans-stilbene crystal. In conclusion, the new deuterated material is promising for use in fast neutron spectroscopy without the need for time-of-flight measurements.

Growth phenomena in the surface layer and step generation from the edges of faceted crystals

Conference Carman, L ; Smolsky, I ; Zaitseva, N P

The mechanism of growth step generation from the edges of faceted crystals obtained from experimental results with KDP crystals is described. It shows that growth from the crystal edges is initiated by the deviation of the edges from their crystallographic orientation and formation of incomplete shapes of singular facets. The conditions for formation of the incomplete faceted shapes during dislocation growth are considered. It is shown that the process of step generation from the edges is determined by the mutual positions of the vicinal slopes on the adjacent faces.

Effect of impurities and stress on the damage distributions of rapidly grown KDP crystals

Conference Runkel, M ; Tan, M ; De Yoreo, J ; ...

Development of high damage threshold, 50 cm, rapidly grown KF*P frequency triplers for operation of the National Ignition Facility (NIF) in the 14 J/cm2, 351 nm, 3 ns regime requires a thorough understanding of how the crystal growth parameters and technologies affect laser induced damage. Of particular importance is determining the effect of ionic impurities (e.g. Cr3+, Fe3+, Al3+) which may be introduced in widely varying concentrations via starting salts. In addition, organic particulates can contaminate the solution as leachants from growth platforms or via mechanical ablation. Mechanical stresses in the crystals may also play a strong role in themore »« less
