Preparação e propriedades de fibras monocristalinas de Sr2MO3, Sr2MO4(M=Ru, Ti, V) e das suas soluções sólidas. / Preparation and properties of single crystal fibers of Sr2MO3, Sr2MO4(M=Ru, Ti, V) and their solid solutions.Ardila, Diogenes Reyes 02 February 2001 (has links)
Nesta tese estudamos as condições para o crescimento estável dos compostos óxidos de metais de transição Sr2MO4 e das soluções sólidas SrM1-xM\'xO3, (M,M\'=Ru,Ti,V) pela técnica de fusão a laser de pedestais. Os nutrientes e sementes policristalinos utilizados para produzir fibras monocristalinas crescidas por fusão a laser não foram, em geral, nem queimados nem sinterizados antes do seu uso. Dois caminhos diferentes de processamento foram seguidos para a preparação de amostras cristalinas. A melhor condição de crescimento cristalino encontrada foi a que envolve o uso de atmosfera gasosa isostática como ambiente de crescimento cristalino. Porém, enquanto que fibras monocristalinas altamente homogêneas de SrTiO3, Sr2RuO4 e SrVO3 foram obtidas desta maneira, foi muito difícil estabelecer condições aceitáveis de crescimento cristalino para as soluções sólidas. A forte influência da natureza química do ambiente de crescimento cristalino e dos reagentes químicos de partida na qualidade da fibra monocristalina foi investigada. Explicações para as principais dificuldades encontradas no crescimento tanto das composições extremas como das suas soluções sólidas foram inferidas usando argumentos termodinâmicos e cálculos semi-empíricos dos parâmetros importantes envolvidos no processo de crescimento cristalino. A caracterização das fibras monocristalinas incluiu algumas adaptações aos métodos tradicionais de caracterização da resistividade elétrica, microestrutura e composição em cristais volumétricos. / In this thesis we have studied the conditions for the stable growth of the transition metal oxide compounds Sr2MO4 and solid solutions SrM1-xM\'xO3, (M,M\'=Ru,Ti,V) by the laserheated pedestal growth (LHPG) technique. The polycrystalline seed and feed rods used to grow single crystal fibers have, in general, not been fired or sintered prior to use. Two different processing methods were followed to prepare single crystal samples. The best crystal growth condition found was one involving the use of isostatic gaseous atmosphere as the crystal growth ambient. However, while highly homogeneous SrTiO3, Sr2RuO4 and SrVO3 single crystal fibers were obtained in this way, it was very difficult to establish acceptable crystal growth conditions for the preparation of the solid solutions. The strong influence of the chemical nature of the crystal growth ambient and starting reagents on the single crystal fiber quality was investigated. Explanations for the main difficulties found to grow both the extreme compositions and their solid solutions have been inferred using thermodynamic arguments and semi-empirical calculations of important parameters involved in the crystal growth process. Single crystal fibers characterization included some adaptations to the traditional electrical resistivity, microstructural and compositional methods practised in bulk crystals.

Preparação e caracterização de fibras monocristalinas de SrTiO3, SrTi(1-X)RuXO3 e de Sr2RuO4. / Preparation and characterization of SrTiO3, SrTi(1-X) RuXO3 and Sr2RuO4 single crystal fibers.Ardila, Diogenes Reyes 12 July 1996 (has links)
Neste trabalho desenvolvemos processos de crescimento e caracterização de fibras monocristalinas de SrTiO3 e Sr2RuO4 puros e como soluções sólidas através da técnica LHPG (laser heated pedestal growth). Esses processos são descritos desde as sínteses dos compostos, preparação dos nutrientes e sementes necessários para aplicação da técnica. Alguns resultados inéditos foram obtidos relativos à influência de cada um desses procedimentos e das alterações de parâmetros próprios da técnica na qualidade e características das fibras monocristalinas obtidas através dos resultados da caracterização estrutural, composicional e elétrica das fibras desses compostos. Diversas fibras monocristalinas de SrTiO3 puro foram obtidas diretamente a partir de nutrientes dos reagentes SrCO3 e TiO2, enquanto que, fibras monocristalinas de Sr2RuO4, (um novo composto de grande interesse tecnológico), foram obtidas de nutrientes de SrRuO3. A importância desses dois últimos resultados, inéditos até então, será discutida em detalhes neste trabalho. Deficiência de rutênio de até 75% do valor nominal dos nutrientes, além de gradientes de composição indesejados, foram encontrados no volume das fibras monocristalinas de algumas composições da solução sólida. Neste último caso a qualidade das fibras parece depender fortemente da taxa de puxamento do nutriente e da semente, respectivamente, bem como do processo utilizado na preparação da matéria prima. / In this work we developed characterization and crystal growth processes of Sr2RuO4, pure SrTiO3 and some compounds of the solid solution SrTi1-xRuxO3 through the LHPG (laser heated pedestal growth) technique. These processes are described from the synthesis of compounds and the preparation of seeds and nutrients necessary for the application of the technique. Some new results related to change of parameters of the technique and the influence of each preparation procedure on the quality and characteristics of the fibers were obtained through the results of the structural, compositional and electrical characterization of single crystal fibers of these compounds. Several SrTiO3 single crystal fibers were directly obtained from nutrients of the reagents SrCO3 and TiO2 while Sr2RuO4 (a new compound of considerable technological interest) single crystal fibers were obtained from SrRuO3 nutrients. The importance of these last two results, that are unknown up to now, will be discussed in detail in this work. Ruthenium deficiency up to 75% of the nominal value of the nutrients, besides undesired composition gradients, were found in the bulk of solid solution single crystal fibers of some compositions. In this last case, apparently the qualities of the single crystal fibers have a strong dependence on the feeding and pulling rates of nutrient and seed, respectively, as well as of the processes used for start materials preparation.

Amplificateurs impulsionnels à base de fibres cristallines dopées Ytterbium / Ytterbium doped single crystal fiber amplifiers for ultra-short pulsesLesparre, Fabien 30 January 2017 (has links)
Les lasers à impulsions ultra-courtes (< 10 ps) ont largement démontré leur intérêt pour de nombreuses applications scientifiques, industrielles ou encore médicales. Le domaine du micro-usinage par impulsions laser est l'un des domaines les plus actifs du moment. Les dernières avancées en la matière privilégient deux axes de recherche, l'augmentation du taux de répétition associé à de fortes puissances moyennes et une montée en énergie. Nos travaux s'inscrivent dans ce contexte et visent à développer des amplificateurs d'impulsions ultracourtes innovants à base de fibres cristallines Yb:YAG délivrant de fortes puissances moyennes et de fortes énergies en régime de polarisation cylindrique. Les sources développées sont destinées à être intégrées au sein de systèmes de micro-usinage laser aux performances inédites développés dans le cadre du projet européen Razipol. Celles-ci joueront le rôle de préamplificateur fort gain au sein d'une architecture MOPA composé d'un oscillateur ultra-rapide à base de cristal d'Yb:KYW et d'un amplificateur final à base de disque mince Yb:YAG. Pour répondre à la problématique des dégradations spatiales liées à la montée en puissance moyenne dans les architectures à laser solide pompé par diode, une architecture en cascade composée de trois étages d'amplification permettant de réduire la charge thermique a d'abord été réalisée. Grâce à une fine optimisation de l’ensemble des paramètres spectroscopiques (taux de dopage des cristaux, longueur d'onde de pompe...) et géométriques (longueur des cristaux, tailles de faisceaux...) a permis d'amplifier des impulsions femtosecondes (750 fs) jusqu'à des puissances moyennes de 100 et 85 W, respectivement obtenues en polarisation linéaire et cylindrique, à la cadence de 20 MHz. Un amplificateur picoseconde de forte énergie à également été réalisé. Intégrant un dispositif de combinaison cohérente à division temporelle à 4 ou 8 répliques visant à réduire les effets non-linéaires, la source développée délivre des énergies remarquablement élevées pour ce type de système à amplification directe. Il délivre des énergies de 1 et 2 mJ à des cadences inférieures à 20 kHz. Ces résultats ont fait l'objet de 2 publications dans des revues internationales à comité de lecture. Par ailleurs les deux amplificateurs développés ont été intégrés sous la forme de systèmes compactes et robustes, utilisables par les membres du projet européen Razipol. Ces travaux ont également inspirée une nouvelle ligne de produits désormais commercialisés la société Fibercryst. / In the last decade ultra-short pulse laser (< 10 ps) have sparked increasing interest for many industrial and scientific applications. Among the geometries used so far for high-power Yb-doped diode-pumped solid-state lasers as slabs, rods and thin disks, the single crystal fiber (SCF) technology was recently shown to have a high potential for the amplification of ultrashort pulses thanks to a very efficient thermal management and high optical efficiencies. This technology combined with the cubic crystal structure of Yb:YAG offers a cylindrical symmetry of the optical and thermo-mechanical properties. Yb:YAG SCFs are therefore well suited for the amplification of cylindrically polarized beams. In the context of a European Project called RAZIPOL, we have developed new laser amplifier architectures using SCF to directly amplify femtosecond pulses to achieve high energy and high average power pulses with radial and azimuthal polarizations without any stretching and recompression of the pulses.We first demonstrate a three-stage diode-pumped Yb:YAG single-crystal-fiber amplifier to generate femtosecond pulses at high average powers with linear or cylindrical (i.e., radial or azimuthal) polarization. At a repetition rate of 20 MHz, 750 fs pulses were obtained at an average power of 85 W in cylindrical polarization and at 100 W in linear polarization. Investigations on the use of Yb:YAG single-crystal fibers with different length/doping ratios and the zero-phonon pumping at a wavelength of 969 nm were conducted in order to optimize the performances of the amplifiers.The second part of the project is focused on pulse energy scaling. In this sense, we demonstrate a two-stage Yb:YAG single-crystal-fiber amplifier designed for high peak power to significantly increase the pulse energy of a low power picosecond laser. The first amplifier stage has been designed for high gain. Using a gain medium optimized in terms of doping concentration and length an optical gain of 32dB has been demonstrated. The second amplifier stage designed for high energy using divided pulse technique allows to generate recombined output pulse energy of 2mJ at 12.5 kHz with a pulse duration of 6 ps corresponding to a peak power 320MW. Average powers ranging from 25W to 55W with repetition rates varying from 12.5 kHz to 500 kHz have been demonstrated.This results has led to the publication of 2 articles in international peer-reviewed journals and have been presented in 7 conferences. Finally this work has inspired the launch of a new line of industrial products by Fibercryst.

Segregation effects in single-crystal fibers grown by the micro-pulling-down methodMaier, Dirk 11 August 2009 (has links)
In dieser Arbeit wurden Segregationen, die bei der Z"uchtung einkristalliner Fasern von Oxidmischkristallsystemen mittels der Micro-Pulling-Down Methode auftreten, experimentell und theoretisch untersucht. Dazu wurden Fasern von hochschmelzenden Oxidmischkristallsystemen mit unterschiedlichen Gleichgewichtsverteilungskoeffizienten gezüchtet. Es wurde gezeigt, dass die Dotierstoffprofil von dem Gleichgewichtsverteilungskoeffizienten, der Ziehgeschwindigkeit, dem Sauerstoffpartialdruck der Züchtungsatmosphäre sowie der Meniskushöhe abhängt. Ein analytisches und ein numerisches Modell wurden erstellt um den Segregationsprozess zu beschreiben. Ein Modell basierend auf der irreversiblen Thermodynamik wurde zur Berechnung der Thermodiffusionskoeffizienten mittels Enthalpie und Entropie hergeleitet. Ausserdem wurden mechanische Spannungen, die durch die Segregationen erzeugt werden, untersucht. LiYF4 wurde erfolgreich gezüchtet. Für diesen Fall wurde die Notwendigkeit einer reinen Züchtungsatmosphäre sowie eines reinen Ausgangsmaterials in Bezug auf Wasser- und Sauerstoffverunreinigungen, gezeigt. / Within this study segregations, which occur during micro-pulling-down growth of single-crystal fibers of oxide solid solutions, have been analyzed in an experimental and theoretical manner. Single-crystal fibers of high melting point oxide solid solutions with different equilibrium distribution coefficient have been grown. It has been shown, that the dopant distribution depends on the equilibrium distribution coefficient of the dopant, the pulling speed, the oxygen partial pressure of the growth atmosphere and the meniscus height. An analytical and a numerical model have been established to describe the segregation process. A theoretical model based on irreversible thermodynamics to calculate the thermodiffusion factors using the enthalpy and entropy was derived. Also mechanical stresses induced by the segregation have been analyzed. LiYF4 has been grown successfully. In this case the necessity of a very high purity atmosphere and source material in terms of water and oxygen trace impurities has been shown.

Estudo da preparação de microcristais de LiLa(WO4)2:TR3+ para aplicações fotônicas / Study of the preparation of LiLa(WO4)2:RE3+ microcrystals for photonic applicationsMoraes, Jair Ricardo de 21 May 2013 (has links)
Estudou-se neste trabalho a preparação de LiLa(WO4)2:TR3+ (LLW:TR) nas formas de fibras monocristalinas (micro-pulling-down) e de microcristais pó cerâmico (método dos precursores poliméricos). No que se refere às fibras: a taxa de puxamento no crescimento de LiLa(1-x)Eux(WO4)2 para 0≤x≤1 é influenciada pela diferença de raio iônico do Li e das TR; a estrutura tetragonal da scheelita descreve as composições 0≤x≤1; a incorporação do Eu gera distorções na estrutura sem reduzir a simetria local do íon; uma queda de luminescência para x>0,20 é observada; e as estruturas para 0≤x≤1 foram modeladas através de simulação atomística com bastante precisão. No que se refere aos microcristais: o efeito do controle de pH na preparação de LLW:Nd 1,0 mol% foi avaliado; obteve-se aglomerados de morfologia irregular e com tamanhos médios entre 22-48 μm, cujo aumento é maior em função da temperatura do que do tempo de calcinação. No que se refere à construção experimental do diagrama de fases do sistema xLi2W2O7-(1-x)La2W2O9: confirmou-se que o LLW (formado numa região de homogeneidade de 0,48≤x≤0,55) se decompõe peritéticamente a 1000°C; a dopagem por TR influencia sua fusão; dados do crescimento, de DTA e de DRX de fibras de LLW, crescidas com composições baseadas neste diagrama, corroboram o mesmo. O processo de obtenção de fibras foi otimizado, com um excesso mínimo de 1,5 mol% de Li2W2O7. / In this work, the preparation and characterization of LiLa(WO4)2:RE3+ (LLW:RE) microcrystals as single crystal fibers (micro-pulling-down technique) and as powder (polymerizable complex method) was studied. Concerning the fibers: the pulling rate for LiLa(1-x)Eux(WO4)2 (0≤x≤1) is influenced by the difference between the constituents ionic radii; the tetragonal scheelite-like structure describes all compositions; the Eu incorporation distorts the LLW lattice without reducing the dopant local symmetry; a luminescence quenching for x>0.20 was observed; and the structure modelling for 0≤x≤1 by atomistic simulation was carried out with good precision. Concerning the powder microcrystals: the pH control effect on the preparation of Nd:LLW 1,0 mol% was evaluated; they presented irregular morphology and agglomerates with average sizes of 22-48 μm with higher increase for the calcination temperature than for the time. Concerning the experimental construction of the phase diagram of the system xLi2W2O7-(1-x)La2W2O9: it was confirmed that the LLW (formed in the a homogeneity region of 0.48≤x≤0.55) decomposes peritectically at 1000°C; RE-doping influences the LLW melting; growth, DTA and XRD data of LLW fibers (grown from the compositions based on this diagram) confirmed it. The process of fiber obtaining was optimized with a minimum excess of 1.5 mol% of Li2W2O7.
