FIELD: metallurgy. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to industrial production of monocrystals, received from melt by Czochralski method, and can be used during polarisation of ferroelectrics with high temperature Curie, principally lithium tantalate. On monocrystal of lithium tantalate by means of grinding it is formed contact pad, surface of which is perpendicular to optical axis of crystal or at acute angle to it.

The invention relates to the production of single crystals grown from the melt by Czochralski method, and can be used for polarization of the ferroelectric with a high Curie temperature, mainly that of lithium tantalate. When using ferroelectric single crystals in electronic engineering is a prerequisite monodominant crystal, i.e. the same direction of the vector of spontaneous polarization in the whole volume of the crystal. Feature dielectric ferroelectrics, in particular that of lithium tantalate, are the small size of the domains and the low conductivity of the single crystal at a temperature of phase transition of the second kind. Therefore, when the polarization of the lithium tantalate there is a problem of application of high voltage for transfer of large single crystals in monodominance state. In addition, the electrical conductivity of single crystals of lithium tantalate, obtained from the melt by Czochralski method, essentially depends on the chemical composition of tooling due to partial dissolution of the material of the crucible into the melt, and form inert atmosphere. To achieve effective polarization requires a differentiated approach to the choice of the electrical parameters of the mode monogamously - voltage and current, as well as ensuring uniform application the Oia electric field and strong coupling between the electrodes and the surface of the pads through the intermediate layers. The known method of polarization of the single crystal of lithium tantalate (see application 1-172299 Japan, IPC4SW 33/00, 1987), including the placement of a single crystal of lithium tantalate, grown by Czochralski method in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis of the crystal between a pair of platinum electrodes using intermediate layers of monocrystalline powder lithium niobate LiNbO3or SPECA having greater conductivity at T>650°C, polarizable than the single crystal, and do not interact with him in a chemical reaction, and the imposition of a polarizing voltage to the electrodes. The disadvantage of this method is the limited temperature range in which the intermediate layers between the crystal and the electrodes have high conductivity, as well as insufficient adhesion of the intermediate layer with the surface of the crystal and the electrodes, which reduces the efficiency of polarization of single crystals. Taking into account the specifics of receipt of the polarizable crystals of lithium tantalate method can only be applied to single crystals with a specific direction of cultivation. Known also adopted as a prototype, the way the polarization of the single crystal of lithium tantalate (see U.S. Pat. 2046163 RF, MPK6SW 33/04, 1995), including the formation of the single crystal grown by the Czochralski method, the contact area and, surface of which is parallel generatrix of the cylindrical surface of the crystal and is the angle between the normal to the pad and the optic axis of the crystal is not more than 40°, placing the crystal in a furnace horizontally between the upper plate and lower segmental platinum electrodes contact the ground up using the adjacent intermediate layer thickness of 0.5-1.0 mm from a powder of lithium niobate with a particle size of not more than 0.1 mm, heating the crystal up to the Curie temperature with a speed of 100-120°C/h, the feed crystal fixed polarizing voltage, the value of which set the rate of 10 To 1 mm diameter crystal, while cooling monocrystal with the speed of the natural cooling of the furnace. The disadvantages of this method are that the voltage applied to the crystal, is a fixed value and it is chosen only with regard to the size of the crystal. When cooled dielectric single crystal of lithium tantalate of the Curie temperature with the rate of natural cooling of the furnace and at a fixed voltage value is relatively rapid decrease in current. To limit this process, the voltage applied to the crystal, should be obviously more necessary to implement the reorientation of domains, which can lead to RA is cresciani crystal or does not provide complete monogamously ferroelectric crystal. This reduces the efficiency of the process. In the known method does not provide the means for fixing the powder of the intermediate layer of lithium niobate, which prevents the formation of a strong and uniform contact with thermoelectrode. In addition, the range of operating temperatures, the powder of the lithium niobate has a lower conductivity than tantalate lithium, which also reduces the effectiveness of monodominance. The present invention is directed to the achievement of the technical result consists in increasing the efficiency of polarization of single crystals of lithium tantalate at the expense of increasing the strength and uniformity of the adhesion of the surface of the single crystal with electrodes and control of electrical parameters during cooling monodimensional crystal. The problem is solved in that in the method of the polarization of the single crystal of lithium tantalate, including the formation of contact pads, the surface of which is perpendicular to the optical axis of the crystal or to have an acute angle, placing the crystal between the upper and lower platinum electrodes using the adjacent intermediate layers based on lithium niobate, heating of the single crystal, the transmission through it of an electric current by submitting to the electrodes polarizing voltage and cooling of the single crystal is about the rate of natural cooling, according to the invention as a material of the intermediate layer using the fine powder of the crystalline solid solution LiNb1-xTaxO3where is 0.1≤x≤0.8, the binder with alcohol additive, heating of the single crystal lead at a speed of not more than 70°C/h until the temperature of 20-80°C. above the Curie temperature of the single crystal, the cooling of the single crystal lead to the stabilization mode current with increasing voltage 1.2-1.5 times to a temperature of 90-110°C below the Curie temperature, further cooling of the single crystal lead to the stabilization mode polarizing voltage while reducing the magnitude of the current through the crystal and by reducing the magnitude of the current in the 3.0-4.5 times from its stable value when a voltage is stopped, after which the single crystal is cooled with the rate of natural cooling, with the cooling of the single crystal to stop the flow polarizing voltage lead with the speed of 15-30°C/h The achievement of the technical result is driven by the fact that the use of powder crystalline solid solution with a particle size of 40-100 μm, and as a binder added spirit take 94-96% ethyl alcohol in a mass ratio of powder of solid solution 1:2,5-3,5. The achievement of the technical result also contributes to the fact that the upper platinum electrode is made of the annular about Aoki diameter of 0.3-0.6 mm The essential features of the claimed invention, defining the scope of legal protection and sufficient to obtain the above-mentioned technical result function and correlate with the results as follows. Using as the material of the intermediate layer of fine polycrystalline powder of solid solution LiNb1-xTaxO3(0,1≤x≤0,8) with binder alcohol additive allows to form a uniform intermediate layer, which in the temperature range of monodominance lithium tantalate korrektiruete and provides strong adhesion with the electrode material and the surface of the single crystal. The thickness of the layer when it is chosen in such a way as to prevent cracking of the single crystal due to the contact with platinum. The greater the electrical conductivity of polycrystalline powder of solid solution LiNb1-xTaxO3(or 0.1≤x≤0.8) is compared with the powder of the lithium niobate provides a more "soft" mode of conducting the process. Conduction heating of the single crystal at a speed of not more than 70°C/h due to the fact that tantalate lithium is the pyroelectric crystal and has a tendency to crack with a sharp temperature drop. When such a heating rate provides a smooth and uniform heating of the single crystal p is throughout its volume. Heating of the single crystal at the above rate until the temperature of 20-80°C. above the Curie temperature of the single crystal, which, depending on the ratio of Li/Ta is 640-680°C, allows you to put the crystal in paraelectricity nonpolar phase and reach a temperature of compacting the material of the intermediate layer. The transition of the crystal in the ferroelectric phase during cooling and the presence of an electric field leads to the orientation of the vector of spontaneous polarization of each domain in a given field direction. The cooling of the single crystal in the stabilization mode current can provide monogamously dielectric single crystal of lithium tantalate in terms of a uniform electric field at the initial stage of cooling. According to the invention this is achieved by applying connected in series standard sources of DC power. The amount of current through the crystal set depending on the crystal orientation and dimensions of the contact area, while the initial voltage increase by 1.2-1.5 taking into account the electrophysical properties of each individual crystal to provide current regulation during cooling of the crystal, which avoids cracking of the crystals and ensures the completeness of the passing of monodominance. The cooling of the single crystal to t is mperature at 90-110°C below the Curie temperature in the stabilization mode current allows to ensure the completeness of monodominance in terms of a uniform electric field and to exclude the appearance of regions of the single crystal with residual predominantly. Further cooling of the single crystal in the stabilization mode polarizing voltage while reducing the magnitude of the current through the crystal allows you to maintain established the direction of the vector of spontaneous polarization domains until excluding their reorientation. A decrease in the current 3.0-4.5 times from its stable value upon cooling indicates completion of the process of monodominance and further application polarizing voltage is unreasonable. The cooling of the single crystal with the speed of natural cooling after cessation polarizing voltage contributes to a gradual lowering of the temperature in the furnace of the single crystal to room and ensures its integrity during processing. Lowering the temperature of the single crystal with the speed of 15-30°C/h to stop the flow polarizing voltage is necessary because it provides a smooth and uniform cooling of the single crystal throughout the volume, and uniformity of the electric field in the stabilization mode current, and elimination of cracking of the single crystal in the cooling mode voltage regulation. The combination of the above features is necessary and sufficient to achieve the technical result of the invention, the sign is eghosa in increasing the efficiency of polarization of single crystals of lithium tantalate at the expense of increasing the strength and uniformity of the adhesion of the surface of the single crystal with electrodes and regulation of electrical parameters in cooling monodimensional crystal. In some cases, of the preferred embodiment of the invention the following specific operations and operational parameters. Using the powder of the solid solution particle size of 40-100 μm due to the need for structurally homogeneous intermediate layer during its compaction. The use of alcohol as a binder additive 94-96% ethanol allows you to form a homogeneous intermediate layer of specified geometry and thickness, and promotes the most robust associations between fine particles of crystalline powder of solid solution LiNb1-xTaxO3. The use of alcohol binder additives in the mass ratio of the powder of solid solution 1:2,5-3,5 allows you to get the consistency of the material of the intermediate layer providing the desired viscosity and adhesiveness of the layer. Perform upper platinum electrode annular wire diameter of 0.3 to 0.6 mm allows in combination with the intermediate layer formed on the contact pad of the single crystal, to provide the necessary conditions for uniform electric field distribution at the plane of contact pads, respectively, in the crystal volume, and reduce the cost of using deficit is on the precious metal. The above private features of the invention allow a method in the optimal mode from the viewpoint of obtaining high technological parameters of the process. The method according to the invention is as follows. On the single crystal of lithium tantalate by grinding to form a contact pad, the surface of which is perpendicular to the optical axis of the crystal or to have an acute angle. Prepare the material of the intermediate layer in the form of a dense suspension of fine (40-100 μm) powder crystalline solid solution LiNb1-xTaxO3where is 0.1≤x≤0.8, the binder and an alcohol additive - 94-96% ethyl alcohol when the mass ratio of the powder of solid solution 1:2,5-3,5. The crystal set in the annealing furnace contact area up to adjacent to the lower segmental plate or electrode is uniformly formed intermediate layer to a thickness of 3-5 mm On the surface of the pads also form an intermediate layer, put the top annular electrode (round or oval), made of platinum wire with a diameter of 0.3-0.6 mm, and press the single-crystal puck from tantalate or lithium niobate weight of about 200, While the single crystal is placed between the negative and lower positive upper electr who DAMI through adjacent to the surface of the intermediate layers. During heating of the single crystal and passing through it an electric current to evaporate the binder and the intermediate layer korrektiruete, providing a secure grip of the single crystal platinum electrodes. Heat lead with a speed of not more than 70°C/h until the temperature of 20-80°C. above the Curie temperature of the single crystal, in which through the crystal electric current is passed. The magnitude of the current source DC power supply B5-50 set depending on the size of the crystal: diameter and length of the cylindrical part. Gradually increasing the voltage of the power source, determine its minimum value needed to transfer power source in the stabilization mode current. Then the voltage source increases by 1.2-1.5 times its minimum value, taking into account features of single crystal growth and material used crucibles (Ir, PtRh 30 with the inner platinum liner etc). Polarization leads, cooling the single crystal with the speed of 15-30°C/h to a temperature of 90-110°C below the Curie temperature, first in the stabilization mode current, and then the cooling with the same speed - mode voltage. When reducing a residual current of 3.0-4.5 times from its stable value flow polarizing voltage drop, after which the single crystal is cooled with what speed the natural cooling to room temperature.

In the control of polarized single crystal by the nature of the scattering of the laser beam passing through the crystal, it was found that the crystal is a mono-domain. Example 4. Take the single crystal of lithium tantalate with a diameter of 82 mm, a length of the cylindrical part 61 mm, grown by Czochralski method in the direction of the Y-axis,+36° using the iridium crucible. By grinding to form a contact pad, the surface of which is perpendicular to the axis of cultivation and has an acute angle with the optical axis of the crystal. Prepare the material of the intermediate layer in the form of a dense suspension of the powder of the crystalline solid solution LiNbfor 0.9Taa 0.1O3the particle size of 40-100 μm and 94% of ethyl alcohol as a binder additive when the mass ratio of alcohol and powder of 1:2,5. On the bottom plate (negative) electrode placed in the annealing furnace, forming an intermediate layer from a suspension of 3 mm thickness and install the single crystal contact area up. On the surface pads changeformat intermediate layer of a thickness of 3 mm, place the top circle (positive) electrode of platinum wire with a diameter of 0.3 mm and pressed a single crystal plate of lithium tantalate weight of 200, Carry out heating of the single crystal with a speed of 70°C/h to a temperature of 700°C (20°C above the Curie temperature), at which time via a single pass electric current of 14 mA at a voltage of 430, which corresponds to the minimum value needed to transfer power source in the stabilization mode current. Gradually increase the polarization voltage up to 516 In (1.2 times). The intermediate layer thus korrektiruete, providing a secure grip of the single crystal with electrodes. Polarization lead to the stabilization mode current, cooling the single crystal at a speed of 30°C./h to a temperature of 590°C (90°C below the Curie temperature) switching power supply mode voltage. Upon further cooling at 30°C/h and decrease the current to a value of 3.5 mA (4 times from its stable value), which corresponds to a temperature of 560°C, the flow polarizing voltage drop, after which the single crystal is cooled with a rate of natural cooling to room temperature. Polarized single crystal of lithium tantalate visual inspection is transparent, has no defects as is resin and breakdowns. In the control of polarized single crystal by the nature of the scattering of the laser beam passing through the crystal, it was found that the crystal is a mono-domain. From the above Examples 1-4 shows that the proposed method compared with the prototype to improve the efficiency of polarization of single crystals of lithium tantalate, obtained by the Czochralski method and differing in orientation, size and growing conditions. Forming the intermediate layer provides a strong and uniform adhesion of the crystal surface with the electrodes, and the stabilization of current, voltage and the fixed cooling rate of the crystal in the region of the Curie temperature allow guaranteed to get transparent, mono-domain crystals of lithium tantalate without additional defects such as cracks and breakouts. The method can be applied for the polarization of a wide class of single crystals on the basis tantalate and lithium niobate, is relatively simple and is implemented using standard equipment. 1.
