Abstract
Lithium niobate and lithium tantalate are among the most important and most widely used materials in acousto-optics and acoustoelectronics. These materials have high values of piezoelectric constants, which makes it possible to use these materials as actuators; however, their use is limited by the thermal instability of a lithium niobate crystal and the low Curie temperature (TC) of a lithium tantalate crystal. LiNb(1-x)TaxO3 crystals have to overcome the aforementioned limitations of individual compounds.Crystals LiNb0.5Ta0.5O3 were grown by the Czochralski method, of good quality. Comparative studies of the features of high-temperature single domainization of LiNb0.5Ta0.5O3 crystals have been carried out. The main differences in the technological regimes for single-domainization of congruent LiNb0.5Ta0.5O3 crystals from congruent LiNbO3 crystals are demonstrated. The parameters of high-temperature electrodiffusion processing LiNb0.5Ta0.5O3 crystals are presented, which make it possible to obtain single-domain crystals for further study of their physical properties.Keywords
