Abstract
Congruent Mg:LiNbO3 with Mg concentration of 0, 1.0, 2.7, 5.0, and 6.0 mo 1% has been prepared. A set of defect models consistent with density measurement is proposed. When the Mg concentration (Mg) exceeds a critical value (Mg)c, Nb-site Mg in the form of MgLiMgNb(1/3/)Nbsub Nb(2/3)/O3 appears in the crystal. The (Mg)c varies as the Li/Nb ratio of the crystal and should be 5.30 mo 1% for the congruent crystal. It is suggested that the optical absorption by the reduced crystals is due to defects comprising both F centers, formed under reduction, and different types of dipolarons. When (Mg) exceeds (Mg)c, (Mg Li-MgNb)-F-(MgLi-NbN) occurs in the reduced crystal, which causes an abrupt change in the optical absorption of the crystal
