ADP Single Crystal Growth from Solution in Defined Crystallographic Direction

Abstract

The method of growing ADP crystal along {100} direction rapidly has been studied. A platform was used to grow ADP crystal to improve its utilization and optical quality. Chemical etching was used to analyze the dislocation mechanism. It indicates that the crystal grown in the defined crystallographic direction {100} could be qualified for optical application. The grown crystals were characterized by optical transmission spectra. It can be observed that the transmittance of the sample grown by our method reached 85% in the visible region.
