Study on the Growth Quartz Ampoule of AgGaS2

Article Preview

Abstract:

The changes in the growth quartz ampoule of AgGaS2 are studied. Coating a layer of carbon film on the inner surface of growth quartz ampoule is an effective measure to prevent AgGaS2 melt conglutinate with quartz ampoule. It can prevent the impurities of quartz ampoule diffuse into the AgGaS2 melt. The anomalous thermal expansion phenomenon of the AgGaS2 crystal usually makes the growth quartz ampoule broken, and crystal crack. Double-layer quartz ampoule can solve the problem. High-quality and large-size AgGaS2 single crystal is obtained by using carbon coated and double-layer growth quartz ampoule. These methods are simple and effective.
