Abstract
The dependencies of lithium niobate lattice constants on stoichiometry and concentration of K and Mg dopants were investigated with the help of X-ray powder diffraction. It was found that in contrast to MgO dopant, an addition of K 2O to the congruent LiNbO 3 melt leads to a decrease of the lattice constants. A similar reduction of a and c parameters is observed if the Li content of the crystal is increased, which is accompanied by an improvement of the lithium niobate lattice structure because of diminishing concentration of intrinsic nonstoichiometric defects.
