Yb：Ca5（PO4）3F激光晶体的生长缺陷

采用提拉法生长了质量优异的Yb：Ca5（PO4）2F（Yb：FAP）晶体。运用化学腐蚀，光学显微镜、扫描电子显微镜以及能量散射光谱仪观察了该晶体中的生长条纹和包裹物等宏观缺陷，以及晶体的位错腐蚀形貌、位错密度及其分布情况，同时观察了晶体中亚晶界的形态。由晶体中位错的径向变化以及生长条纹可知：晶体在生长过程中为微凸界面生长。高温下CaF2的挥发造成了在晶体生长后期熔体中组分偏离化学计量比，出现组分过冷，形成包裹物。且位错密度显著增加。Yb：FAP晶体的各向异性使得晶体在（10 10）面的位错蚀坑形状、大小以

Study of thin-film SO2 gas sensors by photometric and ellipsometric methods

Pt-, Pd-, and Zr-doped SnO2 thin films and dopant-free VOx films were fabricated by planar magnetron sputtering. Tests for sensitivity to SO2 for all samples were conducted at 180 degreesC, and the sensitivities were investigated ex situ with photometric and ellipsometric methods at room temperature. It was found that the optical sensitivities as well as the sensitive wavelength region for SnO2 films could be tuned by doping. The Pd-doped SnO2 films had good sensitivity in the visible range, and the Zr-doped in the near IR. The dominant sensitive wavelength region for VOx films fell into the visible range, and the ratio of the sensitivity in the visible to that in the near IR increased with O-2/Ar in the depositing atmosphere.
