Abstract

Defects would effect the optical properties and operation performances of sapphire single crystal material. Further understanding the defects structure and origins in sapphire plays a crucial role. This study is focusing on analyzing the structure of linear, 2D and 3D defects using the X-ray topography technique. Several other techniques such as etch pits method and X-ray reticulography are also employed to revealing the properties of dislocations and stress distribution around certain defect feature. | 62 pages
