摘要
以自制的CeF_3粉体为原料,在真空碳管炉中采用温度梯度法制备了CeF_3晶体。通过X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描式电子显微镜(SEM)、能谱分析(EDS)等分析方法对不同影响因素下的产物进行表征,CeF_3晶体进行镀膜实验,并对所得膜层进行光学性能测试。结果表明:采用钨坩埚,在1×10-2Pa真空度下1500℃保温1 h,以100℃·h-1的温度梯度降温,可制备得结晶性能良好的CeF_3晶体。添加NH4HF2作为脱氧剂可以使产物中氧含量从0. 54%(质量分数)降低到0. 1%。采用两种氧含量的CeF_3晶体分别进行镀膜实验,氧含量较低的晶体,其镀膜速率波动曲线较稳定,在±0. 05 nm·s-1之间波动,说明氧含量的降低可显著改善材料的蒸发特性;镀膜残余由发黑、发白、黑白过度三部分组成,其发黑部分氧含量最高为7. 92%。CeF_3膜层性能测试表明,在波长为550 nm处,折射率为1. 6,吸收系数为3×10-4。
CeF_3 crystal was prepared by temperature gradient method in vacuum carbon tube furnace with self-made CeF_3 powder as raw material. The products under different influence factors were characterized by X-ray diffraction( XRD),scanning electron microscope( SEM),energy dispersive spectrometer( EDS). CeF_3 crystals were subjected to coating experiments,and the optical properties of the films were tested. The results showed that CeF_3 crystal with good crystallinity could be prepared using tungsten crucible,keeping it at 1500 ℃ for 1 h and the vacuum was 1 × 10-2 Pa,the temperature gradient was 100 ℃·h-1. The addition of NH4 HF2 as a deoxidizer reduced the oxygen content of the product from 0. 54% to 0. 1 %( mass fraction). The CeF_3 crystals with two kinds of oxygen content were used for the coating experiment. The crystal with low oxygen content was stable and fluctuated between ± 0. 05 nm·s-1,which indicated that the decrease of oxygen content could improve the evaporation characteristics of the material; the coating residue was composed of black part,white part,black and white part,and the oxygen content of the black part was 7. 92%. The CeF_3 film performance test showed that the refractive index was 1. 6 and the absorption coefficient was 3 × 10-4 at a wavelength of 550 nm.
