Control of Intrinsic Defects in Lithium Niobate Single Crystal for Optoelectronic Applications

A single crystal of lithium niobate is an important optoelectronic material. It can be grown from direct melt only in a lithium deficient non-stoichiometric form as its stoichiometric composition exhibits incongruent melting. As a result it contains a number of intrinsic point defects such as Li-vac...
