Complex Defects in Mg-Doped Lithium Niobate Crystals Over a Wide Concentration Range and Their Manifestation in IR Absorption Spectra in the OH Stretching Vibration Region

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

Structural defects of nominally pure congruent and stoichiometric LiNbO3 crystals and a series of congruent crystals doped with 0.91–5.91 mol% MgO were compared and comprised two concentration thresholds at ~3.0 and ~5.5 mol% MgO. The main band parameters of OH stretching vibrations in IR absorption spectra (frequency, half-width, intensity) displayed abrupt changes near the concentration threshold at 5.5 mol% MgO. The OH stretching-vibration band shifted to higher frequency by ~50 cm–1 because of the formation of (MgLi)+–(MgNb)3––OH–complexes upon reaching the second Mg concentration threshold.
