Study of the Electrophysical Properties of Lithium Metaniobate Single Crystals with Deliberately Introduced Dopants

Abstract
The effect of the dopants Ti, V, Cr. Mn, Ni, Ho, Er, Tm deliberately introduced into the melt of Czochralski grown lithium niobate (LiNbO3) crystals on their electrophysical properties — electric conductivity, dielectric permittivity and loss tangent — has been studied.The characteristics were measured at temperatures up to 1200°C. The mechanism of dopant introduction into the crystalline lattice and the nature of electric conductivity of LiNbO3 at varius temperatures are discussed.
