Abstract

The lattice location of several transition metal (Hf, Ta) and rare-earth (Nd, Eu) impurities has been investigated in LiNbO3 by ion-beam channeling methods, including Rutherford backscattering and the 7Li(p, α)4 He nuclear reaction. From the detailed analysis of the angular scans near crystallographic axes and planes and the comparison between the two methods, it has been concluded that Hf lies at a Li site, but Ta at a Nb site, whereas Eu and Nd present double occupancy. By using additional results on other impurities, a wider picture of location behavior is described and possible physical mechanisms are discussed.
